Problem fixed... the carburetor clamps were blocking the rotating assemblies in about 3 places.

 

Seriously though, is the F2 throttle grip supposed to turn 180 degrees (half a turn)?

Because mine only does 90 (a quarter turn) from idle to WOT (not nessicarily a bad thing... but I AM a new rider).

 

Coulda been someone's old racebike,ya never know 'til you pull it apart.

Does it have lots of goodies on it?

 

It's not a race throttle. It's a normal stock-looking white plastic throttle insert.

It didn't have any goodies on it, per say... none of the bolts are drilled or anything like that.

 

Mine has that issue. Sometime in the life of the bike someone must have raced cause i found a bunch of aftermarket stuff when i was redoing the plastic. K and N filter, the twist throttle is race style, had a power ignition box (i think that is what you call it). Also the engine was modified to some point with aftermarket cam and piston. Theprint looked old so i don't know how long its been.Not sure exactly but it was cool to find out

 

I have a D&D slip-on that came with my good engine/no-title frame (he never sent it), and a K&N filter that I took off my bad engine. I haven't popped the carbs open to look at the jets...

But the suspension looks stock to me (I don't think my front shocks are actually from a 94, since there's no markings for the damper adjustments). And the rear shock has the stock black spring and shock. (no Racetech goodies for me)

Also, I have about three different throttle inserts from three different bikes, and they all look the same.

Wait a minute, I think the throttle grip I'm using might have actually come from a race bike, since it came with a bunch of parts on eBay, including some calipers (that I'm not using at the moment) that have drilled, aftermarket banjo bolts.. but I'm still fairly sure they all looked the same. I can't imagine how you could use the stock throttle housing and decrease the twist degrees, without some sort of modifications to it.
