Does anyone have pictures of how they routed their throttle cable? I finally started riding my vision in to work and noticed when I make a hard right the engine guns it. The throttle cable is getting pushed toward the engine and it's making it rev. It's not an issue unless I'm making a slow turn like a turn into a parking space, or something like that. It's a little scary to be creeping into a spot then suddenly gunning it into a spot.

pics are in the service manual, but basicly it's:
from the grip
over the brake line
inside the guide wire
over the top of the radiator
inside the removable frame piece (close to top bolt)
inside the small round filter & fuel pump hose
to the throttle.

use the adjustment on the top of the cable, where it enters the housing to adjust the cable. there should be 1/4" or so slack in the grip.

You MUST have some slight slack in the twist of the grip (1/4 " ) this is a safety feature.
