Sitting at a red light trying to find neutral (still a little touchy on the new gearbox), I rev the engine to get the gears to engage with maybe a 10% goose. Instead of getting revs, I hear a click in the airbox and the engine does NOTHING. I know everyone talks about the noid in 3rd gear - but could this be the noid doing its thing? | ||

throttle cable slack? i've heard some new 1125s have waaaay too much throttle cable slack. and it sounds like you aren't wearing ear plugs when you ride .... tisk, tisk.  | ||

get it ... 'sounds like' .......  ....... -sigh- what is this; a forum, or an oil painting?!? | ||

Might be, but I doubt it - the cables are pretty accurate. Plus, it wouldn't explain why the clicking noise. I would love to be in an area where I can ride fast enough to need earplugs. I wear them when I need them - but I was just running across town to get my haircut - 35 mph tops in a FF helmet. | ||

Inc. thread hijack- I feel like my throttle has a ton of slack before it engages, then it's perfectly smooth after that. I'm talking about 1/2 inch of play before anything happens. Is there a way to adjust that? | ||

Adjust like most other bikes,, I didn't see it in the owners manual but its easy to figure out yeah? | ||

Adjustment screw is on the right control. | ||

Hijack #2 ... Tpoppa, I noticed mine has a bit more slack than I like, but it's not terribly bad. Do you and other tend to adjust all the play out of it, or is it advisable to leave a tad there? Speedy, I know it's not noid related (even though that thing gets blamed for a lot of unrelated things), but I too have a little trouble finding neutral after a longer ride, especially if the bike is still running.

I have mine set to no measurable slack. | ||

You want some slack to take tension off the throttle cables, even when at the steering lock. The manual probably says 1/4 inch. I like mine around 1/8 inch. It's personal preference, you want it to be smooth on/off throttle. | ||

I do know that if you blipped the throttle pretty good at a stop on my cr pre-noidectomy, it would kill the engine. Did it several times, and not once since removal. I would bet the click you heard was it snapping shut. Yank it! R | ||

@Carbon - thank you! That's what I was looking for. |
