Author Message   Georgehitch17 Posted on Saturday, May 17, 2014 - 08:27 pm:        Hey guys just prepping my bike for a track day tomorrow and I need to get my throttle loosened up. Last track day I did they said i was pushing it because it barley closes on its own. What do I need to do to cure this problem? Thanks   Rogue_biker Posted on Saturday, May 17, 2014 - 08:37 pm:        Could be the vent hose on your airbox is rubbing up against the throttle linkage (common problem if the hose is not attached right or has moved). To check this you need to remove the airbox cover, remove the top of the airbox, and check the fit of that vent hose.   Nikoff90 Posted on Saturday, May 17, 2014 - 10:00 pm:        Vent Hose rubbing I had this when I purchased my bike.   Shawns Posted on Saturday, May 17, 2014 - 10:02 pm:        Could also be the gasket on the bottom of the air box to.   B2tomtom Posted on Saturday, May 17, 2014 - 11:23 pm:        It could also be the bar end catching on the grip.   Georgehitch17 Posted on Sunday, May 18, 2014 - 10:01 am:        It only sticks at %100 throttle I removed the bar end lubricated the linkage and cables with graphite check the rubber house its like the springs are as stiff. I have 22k on the clock   Pwillikers Posted on Sunday, May 18, 2014 - 12:47 pm:        The throttle cables are very sensitive to proper routing. I'd wager that is your problem but it sounds like you've investigated and corrected that? Did you remove the cables at the throttle bodies and check that the butterflies aren't binding at full open?   Moorev2 Posted on Monday, May 19, 2014 - 04:41 pm:        I had a problem a while back like this, the cam where the cable sits and rides on the throttle body was actually rotating and sticking into my wiring harness...couple zip ties properly holding the harness pulled it away giving the throttle body cam rotaty thingy plenty of room to turn freely.   Georgehitch17 Posted on Monday, May 19, 2014 - 10:49 pm:        It doesn't seem to be the throttle bodies Its like the cables had shot. I think I'll just order a brand new set and start from there. Has anyone put a motion pro throttle on one of these?   Oldog Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 - 10:43 am:        George check that the TB's are seated in the spigots, I missed that one and had some issues with the throttle binding.   Mackja Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 - 10:52 am:        I have motion pro on mine, you will have to call them and asked them to make a set just like they made for Geoff May's 1190rs. other wise you will have to measure all the stuff. They have the measurement in their race department. I run my 1125 as a track only bike now and I love the 1/4 throttle.
