My throttle isn't snapping back near as quick as it used to. When I turn it, it just sortof debates turning back It'll start turning slowly, stop.. resume turning.. stop, and so on. If I loosen my throttle housing thing, it at least turns all the way back, but it still turns hella slow. What can I do?

 

lube the cables

 

So do I just take apart the housing, take out the cable, and spray some wd40 down it or what?

 

pull the grip away from the housing, move the cables where they come out of the housing, sometimes if u just wiggle them or move them just a bit they loosen up

 

could be a few things

dirt between the throttle sleave and handle bar
dirty cables
grip hanging up on housing
cable adjustment
dirt inside the housing hanging up in sleave

 

The grip isn't hanging up on anything, and I don't think it's any dirt. However, the various adjustments around the throttle are sliding around like one of these

 

pinched cable...make sure there is nothing pressed up against them

 

just go on ebay and get a new throttle/cable

 

Mine is like that because my clip-on is bent

 

(I havne't gotten home yet so I haven't gotta **** with it)
But my thing that the barend threads into is bent inside, but I don't think that would cause it?

 

Ended up just being that adjuster at the top line coming out of the throttle housing. It was nearly all the way out. I let it all the way out, sprayed some wd40 in there, and tightened it about 3/4 of the way and it's now butter.

 

then shut your hole

 

I'd rather post up what fixed it so if someone searches for this problem they'll find out what they can do to fix it

 

teflon lubricant is a better choice....... wd-40 is a penetrating oil, and attracts dirt.... therefore worsening the problem eventually.

 

Doh. I think the main thing was just that adjuster.. ah it feels so much better now.

 

just lettin ya know pimp........

 

thanks
