Most of The Play Out of The Throttle
« on: July 12, 2012, 12:01:31 AM »
I wasn't satisfied with "the Play" in my hand throttle so I tightened it up to very little play and I can't believe the difference it gave me in throttle control. I used to have to creep into the throttle up which was always touchy and had taken too much time. Now, I'm into throttling up when I need it without worrying about slowly sneaking up on it! It is more enjoyable for me....

Yet to this day, I am surprised just how much difference there is in my control and comfort in this. I have but very little play left..in other words, just enough to say there is a bit of play. 1/2 inch as you have would drive me crazy! My adjustment didn't bother the idle but gave me seriously better control around turns etc. I am not a mechanic or an authority and I did check with service with what I did and this along with the larger hand grips makes life easier...for me anyway! Good Luck

Yeah, a motorcycle mechanic will tighten the throttle cable and charge you for a "tune up".

It doesn't take much to do this yourself and I at first did not know how until way back on a forum for my 300 I read how to do so...I owe much to these forums and keep thanking the people that put and keep this together...we all owe them thanks...at least I do for sure!
