GSR throttle getting stuck

[Pedmatrix3]

I have heard that GSRs throttles get stuck because the throttle cable is to short. Is this true?? Im nervous of that happening! What can I do to prevent that?

Yes it is true. Theres only two ways to fix the problem.
#1 Make sure the cable is routed in the shortest way possible.
#2 Get handle bars and lower them, or if you have bars already, shorten them some more.

When I get it should I buy a used set of bars and a stem? Then just cut the stock pole down 3 inches or whatevers best and add the stem + bars?

Does 3 inches sound good? Im only 5' 1"

I would go more...I mean its personal Preference. My bars are more like the Super X height because I like them short (im 5'7). When you get the stem and bars, stick the bars in the stem and hold them up against the pole and just try to get a feeling where its comfortable. If your 5'1 then Your most likely going to go pretty short.

the throttle on my TSI has NEVER gotten stuck.... and i havent changed anything since i got it. What are you guys talking about?

[Slimcandy428]

Because the bars are shorter on the tsi and the cable has more slack. Tons of people have had their throttle get pulled open on the Gsr.

I just realized sumthing on my friends brand new GSR. His cable isnt that short and it hasnt gotten stuck yet
