After a 20 mile ride with my new Renegade air box on I found this

The bottom of the Yoke was connecting with the throttle cable and had cut through the insulation.

To remedy I re-insulated the cable, and then cable tied them together. I then open the tank, and wedged them in a postion where they were OK on both full locks, and retightened the bolts holding them in place, without nipping the cable. Could have been a right ******* if I hadn't noticed until later.

Basically the cable routing hook from the standard air box is missing on the renegade box so there is nothing to guide the cables from the throttle bodies, under the tank and through the Yoke.

Because the bottom of the Yoke is sharp it would take no time at all to cut through the cable.:thumbup
 
Odd - My Rene kit has a clip to route the cables?

Well worth noting for others though.....
 
Its the sat nav cable that is wired into the front lights.

Don't worry that's fine it totally misses everything. If you have seen a Telferizier mount you will see why that is the best route.
 
I've had this problem...but not due to changing the airbox....the nutter who had my bike previously had dropped the forks throught the headstock to get it turning quickly but the result was that the throttle cable got trapped and seriously mashed under the headstock....Got the front end remedied and new cables...no problem since....Apart from getting used to the 'slow' turning!!

I was wonder if I was getting a combination of this. Trouble is I don't to change the forks because it turns spot on for me.
