Stiff throttle easy mod
« on: July 28, 2021, 04:50:29 PM »
Dont know if anyone allredy came up with this idea so i though i would share it.

Found the throttle return spring to be way to stiff on my CB500 -74 and came up with this easy fix (yes, i have new cables and all that).

It reduced the force needed with at least 50% and there are plenty of spring left to close on its own and now it feels like every other bike iv ever owned.

And the best part, it was free.

Very similar to me. Been using a small (about 10-12mm) key ring for about 15 years.

😄 Where where you in all those threads with people complaining about stiff throttle spring?
