Throttle problem

Post by Gazza »

well its starting to piss me off. :twisted: :twisted:

I have adjusted the slack out of my throttle so that i have better control whilst riding my bike
and it just ends up becoming slack again after riding for a short period & its not the first time
ive adjusted it.

Dont know weather or not the throttle cable is streaching or the throttle assembly has shit itself
or if its just meant to be like that.

the worst is when im going around a corner , if i back of the throttle then on again some times it lunges the bike forward
because of the slack and i dont want to slide out and do a 6maniac if i can help it and end up laying her over.

so help me if you think you have a solution.
cause its really really pissing me off.

Gazza - sounds like you need to get some new cables. The throttle cable can stretch a bit, but if its doing this, then its only a matter of time until it fails completely, and you will be pushing the bike. A new set of cables is the best bet, and they are not that expensive....
