Well mines on an 06 so I'm not 100% sure about the 09.

It's about a 1/4 turn and it only uses the pull cable.
I ditched the return cable altogether.

It's not an option i'd choose for highway use.
It's quite stiff and requires a fair bit of grip pressure to hold a steady throttle.
One day I'll look at reducing the tension of the carb return spring.
Great off road though.

I use the Vortex, it's much better IMO. I rode a friend's without the Vortex and it reminded me of why I like the Vortex so much And yes work, stock cables.

Although I don't notice any extra grip pressure needed to hold the throttle, maybe I'm just used to it.

I have the vortex, and it is single cable, stock pull cable. I also never noticed any difference in the force, or pressure required.

The Votex doesn't affect there operation. It bolts on easily.
From memory I just had to cut the tube down a little.
