I have a 2006 electra glaide police bike ...how do i install a new throttle cable

Your bike has "throttle-by-wire" instead of cables.

From different forums, quite a few people complain about the same thing.

It is claimed that the dealership can plug into the ECM and do a little programming to ease/alleviate the problem, so you might call and check.

I had the same problem on my ultra classic 2009 and it seems it is a kind of rust inside the control unit and i did cleaned it but it didn't work permanent and the only cure was to replaced the throttle control cable and i guess they call it fly by wire hope this will help

Most common mistake that I've seen that causes this problem is as follows...
Many throttle cables have 2 nuts on the threaded end that goes to the carbs...these should be fitted so that one nut is above the bracket and the other below.
If they are together above the bracket the throttle will be jammed open...

If you want pictures, I'm afraid that you'll have to purchase a manual somewhere. This forum will only allow me to send a picture of 150Kb size. Replacing the throttle grips is not difficult.

First, loosen the locknuts on the throttle and idle cables at the twist grip. Adjust the adjuster barrel inwards all the way getting as much slack as possible. Now, loosen the bolts holding the front master cylinder onto the handlebars and slide it towards the center of the bars just a bit. Remove the two bolts that hold the right handlebar switch housing together. Carefully lift the top portion of the switch housing and move it towards the front of the bike exposing the throttle twist grip. Work each of the cables out of the nylon wheel of the twist grip. Do not loose the barrels that go on the ends of each cable. Once you have the cables loose from the wheel, lower the lower switch housing and remove the right grip from the handlebar.

Now, take the new grip and apply a coating of white lithium grease to the wheel part and the inside of the throttle sleeve in the grip. Put a coating of grease on the handlebar end where the sleeve rides as well. Slide the throttle sleeve and grip onto the handlebars. Bring the lower switch half up and reconnect the cables to the throttle wheel. Carefully reposition the top half to the switch housing and make sure that no wires are being pinched. Install the two bolts but don't tighten. Slide the throttle grip all the way up on the handlebars and then back off about a 1/4" or so. Tighten the two bolts. Now, adjust the two cables to where they each have just a bit of slack. Turn the throttle grip to the wide open position and release it. The throttle should snap shut. If not, work with it until you get it to where it does. Once operating properly, reposition the front brake master cylinder.

Make sure your throttle operates properly. An improperly operating throttle control can cause lose of control of the bike resulting in serious injury or death.

Good Luck

Remove the switch housing screws and spread it away. Loosen the adjuster locknuts on the throttle cables and adjust cables in, this will allow you to lift the cable off of the throttle grip. Be care full not to lose the barrels.( the small round caps on the end of the cable.) Assembly is the reverse. Make sure to check proper operation of the throttle before starting the bike.

Not too hard - Undo the two bolts on the caliper and then seperate the caliper and pull the old ones out. Insert the new ones and put the bolts back in to hold the caliper back together and then install them back on the bike with the two retaining bolts. Use a bit of lock tight (Blue) on the threads. Warning do not let anyone apply pressure on the brakes while you have them off the bike or you will have a mess and/or a problem.

The injected bikes have a heat management system, that will make them skip a stroke from time to time in an attempt to cool the engine down, the hotter the engine gets the rougher the ride, if heavy traffic is a constant issue and you live in a warm climate area. there are parade fans available which blow air across the cylinders while at low speeds, most police bikes have these as they regularly are used un heavy traffic.

not to be funny or anything but all i can suggest is have a look see if everything lines up so it can be bolted on
