        The switch body is binding, so take and wrap the bars with a few layers of masking tape and reinstall the swtich over it. This will space the 2 halves just a bit. Trim the tape off the bars around the switch housing after your done


        And to Gatekeeper...the channel the throttle grip runs in inside the switch housing gets greased as well.
        MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
        1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

        NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Thanks for the thread high-jinx, enjoyable. It's the cable ends. I just took the cables out and there is plenty of free play. I'm going to try and sand them down to fit a little better and a little lube inside.

          Thanks

              Also, should there be a gap, and all mine have had them, equal spacing between the top and bottom pieces.

                Turns out the cable end mold marks were hanging it up inside the housing. Sanded those down and works just fine now.

                Thanks
