The throttle on my son's CityX is sticking due to the cables binding when the the front end is turned to left. I currently do not have a shop manual and was wondering if someone might be able to take a few pictures of the throttle cable routing through and around the triple tree/fork tubes. The cable do not bind from a "slight" left turn to a full right hand lock.

Thanks for any help in advance

I'm not at my bike right now, but if you don't have them, follow the "Buell Service Manuals" link at the top of the page and there you'll find free downloads. Their for Firebolts, but general tinkering/maint. stuff is the same for the Lightnings.
