throttle not returning

<< < (4/5) > >>

steff750:
 ;) why dont you just run the bike with just  the pull cable .
i have done this for years with no problems in fact the action is a lot lighter with one cable anyway. go on you know it makes sense lol

El__burro:
SORTED!
It turned out to be a routing issue.
See the pictures?
The cables were passing through the other passage in the frame.

I am very glad for your support.
Thanks a million

Glad you got it sorted,as I found out the correct routing makes all the difference.

Mines a K6 fitted with PD carbs, I find the throttle quite stiff compared to other bikes I have had, the new cables are routed as good as you can get them.
having recently had carpel tunnel surgery on my right hand 3 months ago I am now finding the stiff throttle a bit too much &  after a good few miles of riding my hand & wrist aches like F*ck...
So today I have removed the throttle return spring & now its smooth & very easy...but i obviously now don't get the auto throttle/spring return, but at least I can give my hand a rest whilst riding without the spring closing the throttle, I just set the throttle in a cruise position & I can take my hand off the grip & relax it a bit 

I know some will say its not safe having it this way "and if you drop the bike it will rev its bollocks off"

any other suggestions ?

  as the throttle grip on my Honda is worn,(well,it is original)  I fitted a jubilee clip ,and in normal riding I use my thumb
to roll the throttle round,

 saves having to grip to hard,
