R1200RT revving high after reassembly

gsinill said:

I just replaced both shocks on my '09 RT with Tractives.
Everything went smooth, but after I put it all back together and started the bike, it rev'ed really high.
Could it be that I somehow caught the throttle cable when I put the tank back on?
Are there any diagrams that depict how the throttle cable is routed?

I don't think I missed any of the electrical connections (e.g. the ones to the tank etc.), but who knows.

Just looking for some pointers for where to start.

Thanks!

That's a very common occurrence. Usually it's the cruise control cable, snagged in the area between the gas cap and radio compartment. Usually the tank needs to come back off to correct it. I've learned to start the bike before I put the tupperware back on.
