Throttle doesn't open smoothy
Hello there
I've just noticed something a little odd about my new to me RR-5. The bike is in amazing condition, well maintained and it looks like months old not the 17 years since it was built. Opening the throttle requires a little bit of effort from the closed position. There's some stiction. I'm wondering if it's normal as in 'they all do that Sir' or whether it's odd or a sign of something needing sorting. The throttle is smooth otherwise. It feels just like the butterfly's are wedging slightly in the closed throttle position. Any ideas? Peter |
Could me multiple issues. My '05 was buttery smooth. However, my '07 had "sticky" throttle that made cornering smoothly on track impossible. I did:
1. remove both cables and flossed teflon lube through them until it ran out bottom 2. sprayed wax-lube on right-handlebar & inside throttle-tube when re-assembling 3. removed throttle-plates from throttle-bodies and greased bearings 4. set throttle-plate closed-position angle according to manual, measured sync later. 5. did TPS test from manual: 5v reference voltage, shorts, measured TPS output-voltage at various openings 6. MAP-sensor, ran new hose and measured vacuum at idle. Measured MAP output-voltage key ON, bike not running (simulates WOT). Then at idle. 7. removed acceleration fuel-cutoff setting in ECU, also fine-tuned some WOT mixtures to remove excessive fuel Not sure exactly which one of those solved my on/off throttle stumble since I did it all at once. But '07 now buttery-smooth at low-throttle just like my '05.. |

Might be someone compensating for intake-vacuum leaks by unscrewing throttle-stop screw too much. Butterfly-plates may be biting into side of throttle-body. Adjust it to slightly cracked open according to manual.
|
The bike is pretty much untouched/not messed with from new. I'll check the manual.
|
With the engine running the issue goes away.
