    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.

  • 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.

What the heck was this?!

gotta be quick, but heres a synopsis...


last night, i go to take out and reset my cam chain tensioner. I take carbs off, etc., and set the torsion spring at 1.5 turns...

working great, no rattling anymore.

I put everything back together , but forget to fasten the choke cable to the carbs , and to tighten the nuts on my throttle control, as well as putting the breather tube in (your telling me... :oops: 8O )


Anywho, I start riding, all is good, and then the throttle gets stuck nearly wide open.... I pull to side of road, try to fix it, and get it to idle properly after taking tank off and fiddling with cables.


Then it does it again, so i ride back to my bros (1am) and wheel it inside. Take airbox and carbs off again, and put in cables 100%tight. I go to start it up, and it starts to do it again (going to maybe 6500rpm without touching it)... not my cable , as its moving freely completely.


seeing as I have to get home, i ride and shift up into 2nd, then 3rd. when i eventually get to 4, im not going on the throttle at all, since i didnt need to.

then the problem stopped altogether.....

it doesnt do it anymore......

:? :? :?
 
Hmm, all I can say is yikes. 8O That's not right...
 
Sounds like you need to lube your throttle cable.
My bike did that when I tuned the carbs. Though Apparently I had the cable routed incorrectly and it was yanking on the throttle assembly at the carbs which opened the butterflies making the bike race from the moment you started it up.

Check your cable routing and condition of your throttle cable.


Dm of mD
 
doesnt do it any more after i reassembled it. the routing is good, as it leaves a lot of flexibility.


im pretty sure the cause was the cables not being secured, and i just had to unstick something , somehow, later on.


its all god now, so im happy!
 
I had a similar problem the first time I pulled my carbs off, eventually I figured out I had positioned one of the clamp rings slightly off and the screw was interfering with the throttle assembly. spun the clamp and the hitch went away!

good luck!
