Guest Jonnyboy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Has anyone had a problem with their throttle sticking on 750x manual? Link to post
Guest bonekicker Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 John do you oil the throttle and cable with WD40? Link to post
Tex 36,817 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 There are some 'standard' checks you need to run through. Do you have sufficient free play in the throttle cable? Does the twist grip snap shut when released? If you have heated grips fitted the grip may be fouling the switchgear. That sort of thing. The adjuster for the throttle cable is under a rubber sleeve BTW.. Link to post
Guest Jonnyboy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 No..... Maybe I should. I took it for mot and they advised me on it. Personally it didn't know it was sticking. Link to post
Tex 36,817 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hmmm, interesting. Start the engine and, while watching the rev counter carefully, turn the bars from lock to lock (side to side as far as they'll go). If the revs rise (even slightly) that would indicate insufficient play in the cable. Other than that, if you haven't noticed it, I wouldn't bother too much. Link to post
trisaki 2,029 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 When they turned the handlebars from lock to lock did it rev up - not enough free play on throttle need a couple of mm free play Link to post
Guest Jonnyboy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 They said something about it not snapping back when you release throttle. Link to post
trisaki 2,029 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Throttle rubber catching on something? Link to post
Guest Mac750 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 +1 throttle rubber catching, also check throttle cable outer is not split or frayed and could be catching or fouling around the headstock . You can get use to a throttle slightly sticking so you don't notice it, but it should snap back to off as soon as you let go of it. If it rotates slowly back to off then it is binding , catching or needs adjustment. Worth sorting before it gets worse. Link to post
