Hello everyone, so I just installed some apes on my 2005 Vstar 1100 Custom and ran into a few issues. I ordered cables from Metric Magic and they were relly good quality and everything fit well. Some of the issues I ran into though were:
1) choke cable. Now that installed a new choke cable, my choke seems like it doesn't work when the bike is running. Also I can only move the choke half way.
2) second issue was when the bike is running. It's fine in neutral, but when I take off in the first gear, I have release the clutch almost all the way for it to start moving. Also If I don't release the clutch (the bike isn't moving, in the first gear, and the clutch is pulled in) the bike is roaring almost like I'm adding some throttle to it. When I take off and release the clutch the sound goes back to normal.
3) when I'm moving in any gear and release off the throttle, the bike doesn't start slowing down. It keeps moving at the same speed even though the throttle went all the way back.
Hope you guys can point me in the right direction
