 |
|
| My manual does not explain the throttle assembly very well.Basically there is no gave in the throttle. Always fully open. It will not spring back into position. I have not fully opened it up yet. So if i do will i find some sort of spring inside? (I will first check the cable itself but it seems ok) or some other mechanism? Any advice or hints appreciated. |

Make sure the outer end of the rubber handgrip isn't fouling on the balance weight on the end of the handlebar. This happened to me recently causing the throttle to stick open.

If I recall correctly, there is no spring inside the throttle assembly. The return spring is on the throttle body.
Make sure the cable isn't pinched. Also make sure there's been no lubricant sprayed down the inside of the cable. If the throttle cable is anything like the clutch cable, there is a teflon lining which is easily destroyed by lubricants.
Regards,
Bill

Make sure that the TPS on the end of the throttle body is not interfering with the operation of the throttle. Misadjustment of that switch can cause the throttle to stick.
The return spring is a coiled spring located around the shaft on the throttle body that operated the butterfly plates.

The butterfly mechanism could be getting hung up on the clamps for the intake hose plenum or the throttle boby to intake manifold tubes?
Do any work in that area lately? Just a thought???
