throttle sticking

[dacheedah]

I added 1 1/2 risers and rerouted the cables because they would bind on a hard right turn. I have new cables coming that are +2. In the mean time my throttle is sticking with the bike running. I try it with the bike off and they return fine, with the bike running they are sticking.

 

I did do the driving lights , relay, mod while I had the fairing split. I don't see anything in the way. Any ideas here??

Do you have any adjustment left? There needs to be just a little slack when you turn the throttle or it will bind just like you are talking about.

I have tons of slack. rerouted behind right fork until I get new cables. I check it when not running and it returns, I check and it's all the way back. But running it sticks ( doesn't make sense to me) and I have to manually return them. I don't see anything catching the cables anywhere.

When I say slack I mean that you can turn the the throttle about .1 inch before you feel the cable actually engaging. There are adjustments at the carbs and possibly at the throttle control. Chapter 3 page 16 of the service manual covers it.

Pulled off the gas tank and found my problem, mr zip tie had it pulled wrong. I don't know how it didn't cause problems before. I cut it free and she no longer sticks. It does occur to me that it was not fully pulling back before, end result is I will install the new cables and have them routed as designed...

 

now I am saving my old zip ties so those second genners can fix their plastic...
