sticking throttle
I just installed Heritage bars on the 04 RoadGlide, throttle sticks open and I have to force it back up. I tried adjusting the tension on the casing around the throttle handle itself but it doesnt seem to help. Can anyone help me out?Tick

RE: sticking throttle
You might need to lube your cables. Also the new bars might be binding the throttle sleeve. Try moving the throttle assembly out a bit further and see if it does better.
I don't know if the Delphi system has the same type of plate that's on my Magnetti-Morelli system, but look and see if you have a plate on a stem to the right of the intake that moves with the throttle. If so, it works the cold idle function and has a miniature bearing in it that could have gone bad. Also the bottom part of the throttle assembly at the throttle body could be gunked up. A good cleaning with carb cleaner might help too!
