Title: How do you... Post by rl153 on 09/26/13 at 11:53:05 How do you get the slack out of the throttle cable? It seems my throttle will turn around a 1/4 " before catching. Is there an adjuster under the black rubber boot and how do you do it? Thanks! |

Title: Re: How do you... Post by HondaLavis on 09/26/13 at 20:45:56 Make sure you take a measurement. "Seems" and "reality" can get blurred easily. Max adjustment of 0.16" is 1/6 of an inch, and that can feel like a lot. If you do adjust it, start your engine when you're done. WITHOUT holding the throttle, turn your handlebars back and forth the whole way slowly. hear for any change in your idle speed. If you adjust it too tight, it will find a place to pull, and your bike will give itself some gas. I'd know... :-X |

Best way,.. is to buy a bike less than 3 years old... ;D... Old, dried out, rubber loses it's elasticity... no gettin' around it... This is why,... you should replace tires at 5 years, regardless of how much tread is left... |
