Hi I just lubricated the 2 throttle cables/assembly etc.

On reassembling (which required I loosen the handle bar to move the throttle housing off to reassemble ) -- the throttle lever spins smoothly and I can feel cables moving smothly inside their cable housings - but there is just free play whe turning throttle lever !!! No resistance as in opening throttle and no snap back.

I started the engine and it runs on perfect idle - but does not respond to turning of throtte lever.

Can the top cable slip off/come off throttle end when fiddling around with the cables at the handle bar end? If so isn't this dangerous? I'll have to take side fairing off and have a look - was riding perfectly 2 days ago but felt dry so thought I would lubricate cables etc.

Thanks Greg

You've likely jiggled the other end out of position on the throttle body. If you follow the cable you'll see where it's attached.
It'll be a bugger of a job to do without taking the tank and Airbox off but it's doable.
