Just curious...why are you replacing the throttle cable? Installing new bars? Worn out already at 24k?

Great point about the dealer as I'm not sure they did a throttle body adjustment. I'm changing the throttle cable just to be safe. No big expense.

Is there a way to have another dealer confirm if the throttle body adjustment was made during the 24K service?
