Stiff Throttle

(1/3) > >>

Boggieman:
Hi All,
The throttle on my 400/4 is really stiff. Just wondered if this was a known issue as they get older.
The twistgrip itself is not the issue, it's a new one, and the cable has a non-restricted route. It seems to be the spring on the top of the carb's, can these be lubed, or changed if necc'?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Ian

Hi I an you could try a bit of wd40 or similar on the carb linkages might help get things moving freely again  ;) cheers Mick.

Bryanj:
If the cable has been "oiled" that could be your problem as Honda cables are lined and they swell and stick with lube

Boggieman:
Hi uys
Thanks for that.
The cable has not been oiled, it is as is when it was new (if that makes sense).
Ian

Bryanj:
probably just old and knackered then, like me
