Guest Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 was tinkering with the bike seeing as i cant go out on it.. and think i cracked the lil plastic insert on my throtle handle. the grip was rubbing slightly on my bar end... with a lil gentle persuasion, i managed to get it to stop rubbing.. but my gentle persuasion may have been lil heavy handed.. and now.. my throtle has loads of free play.. (back and forth) any ideas on if i tighten my throttle, this will sort it or is it time for a new throttle handle?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 with the grip rubbing you might not of noticed the free play as much follow the cable and there will be an adjustment screw somewhere adjust untill you are happy with the free play i go for around 2 to 3 mm of play i like mine responsive start the bike and go lock to lock with the bars to make sure the revs dont increase if they do then its too tight hope that helps stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
