throttle prob

I am having a problem with my throttle. It is in the grip. When I release the throttle and it snaps back and stops, it goes a little further past the stop point and sticks. I took apart the switch housing (where the starter switch and run switch are) but could not see a problem. Any help??

RE: throttle prob

Are your cables adjusted too tight? Or what about the throttle lock under the bar, is it partially on?

RE: throttle prob

I didn't mess with anything. One day I just noticed it sticking. It sticks at the point where the throttle is closed.

RE: throttle prob

Are you sure that it is the throttle itself sticking and not the cables or the throttle body linkage? Did you lube the cables lately?

RE: throttle prob

I ended up turning the star shaped, spring loaded adjuster screw under the switch housing on the throttle. I didn't have to turn it much. It did the trick and didn't seem to alter the idle when I start the bike. Before that I did lude the cables, that didn't seem to have any effect.
