Hey Guys,
Not sure if its cool to tag a new question onto this one but it sounds like you guys understand how throttle grips work with throttle so gonna ask what I'm guessing is a simple question.
Lost my throttle connect all of a sudden while riding last night and could only engage the throttle by squeezing the grips really hard. I have oxford heated grips installed on the bike (came with it) & when I inspected the grip it turns freely independent of the underlying cylinder that actually turns the cable housing. Is the grip meant to be glued to the cylinder or is there some other way that it is supposed to rotate it? I'm a brand new owner/rider so learning and neither the service or haynes manual discuss anything aside from cable adjustment.
thx for any insight!
