philmartin Posted May 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 19, 2008 Is there any way to adjust the throttle tension? I don't know if it's gotten dirt in the cable or if something else is happening but it is getting worse. I've got a throttle rocker on it, but its getting so hard to turn it's not much help. Thanks.

pegscraper Posted May 19, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 19, 2008 Yes, there are throttle cable adjusters at both the throttle grip and the carbs. There is a junction box in the middle for the cruise control, so each side needs to be adjusted independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalstarjac Posted May 19, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 19, 2008 Does it snap back when you let go of it? Have you had the cables lubed lately?-Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought of, lubing the cables???????? It will help flush out any dirt........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaWhiskey Posted May 19, 2008 Share #5 Posted May 19, 2008 I thought this was something you wanted to have and it was a problem if you did not have it! Stop taking the medication! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that was coming. Thanks for all the other help. What is suggested for lubing the cables (I know, another loaded question) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of those THROTTLE BOSS throttle rockers on mine and on a couple occasions the rocker has slipped over and gotten hung up on the bar end weight. The friction of the rocker keeps the throttle from closing. Its just a thought but if you have one of those wrap around throttle rockers it could be the problem.
