Throttle Rolls Forward...
Good evening everyone!
I have a 2007 Sportster 1200C. I took it in last week for it's 1000 mile server and to get the Stage 1 kit installed. When I brought it home I noticed that the throttle now rolls forward a little bit from the return point. I hate to take the bike back up to the dealer. Was wondering if this was something that is adjustable?
Thanks in advance!

Loosen your cables and re-adjust them. Sounds like they're just a bit out of whack. Do the pull cable first to get it about where you want it, then tighten up the idle. Make sure you have about 1/8" - 1/16" of free play and only adjust em til you can't hear the "click" when you're wiggling the grip.

So...when you want to accelerate you roll the throttle back towards you. When you release the throttle it rolls forward to the "idle position". From the idle position I can roll the throttle forward towards the front of the bike. I will roll about 2 to 3 inches forward and it remains running at idle during that time.
Hopefully this is a better explanation.
Thanks a lot!

Can't be 2 or 3 inches...the grip would come almost full circle!?[>:]
I think you just need to re-adjust them.
EDIT : Adjust them both...completely loosen and re-tighten them. You shouldn't do just one or the other. Also make sure they're both seated completely in the carb bracket and inside the switch housing.

2or 3 inches¿ The cable must be broke or disconnected.

Might be the twist grip.

The cable is not broke or disconnected. I have verified that this is the case. Throttle works fine with the exception of the forward roll. Heck, I took it for a 100 mile ride yesterday with no issues other then this.
