    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Do I just need to replace the throttle tubing if it is real tight? When I turn the throttle its not that smooth. its pretty hard to pull back. doesn't give it the gas it should. Anyway to loosen that up or am I stuck like that?

Take the cables off Clean & lube them should fix your problem. Make sure the grip is not pushed up too far
 
Check the bends.

Check the bends.

Check the bends in the cable, tight bends make for a tight throttle.
Check if the grip is rubbing on the handlebar.
It might be the price of gas too. :-\\\
 
If it's a dual cable throttle make sure the cables are not too tight ie. you need a bit a slack in both cables. I found my return cable was quite snug and it was causing the carbs to stay open when I released the throttle at high revs, as well as being hard & rough to twist - at first i thought it was the carb spring.
 
Make sure you don't have the throttle jammed into the end of the handlebar.
