sticky throtle
#1
well i got the bike out of the garage at last and went for a blast. not a perfect day as the vent snapped of of my shoie raid 2, and worst of all the throtle sticking. not sure if the cable needs lubing or something worse. it did not free up after a while and being opened and closed a few times. any suggestions (other then not leaving it in the garage cos its to cold)

giving the cables a good lubricating should help  8)  It certainly won't do any harm!

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

will do mate it might not be for a few days due to easter parties and father inlaw in hospital and working nights. I have the 08 gen2 and im used to real things like carbs so im not sure about taking the thing apart to lube it properly. any tips or advice will be welcome thanks

success. I managed to get a drip or two of engine oil down the cable sleeves but i think the half a can of wd40 under the twist grip did the trick.
