It looks like bike fell over while parked and landed on the bar end. When I started it up the throttle was sticky. I took the bar end off and found that the grip was rubbing against the throttle housing. I pulled it back and it seems to be better now. Is there anything else I should check or look out for?

 

Coming out of the throttle, near the kill switch, there are 2 cables. 1 of these cables has an adjuster on it. Try tightening that up if you can. I think on mine you can see about 3 threads, not sure.

 

i would bet thats all it is. happened to me before, all it was was the grip.

 

I had a 'sticky throttle' and it too was nothing more than the grip.

 

Mine had been down on the right hand side when I got it the throttle was sticking. there was a very slight bend in the handle bar. plus the rear brake pedal was slightly bent ,mind you its a 1000f and is a heavy old beast.

 

Ya, watch out for a bent clip-on that would suck.

Teko- you can't assume that your three thread showing adjustment is going to be correct for another bike... the throttle return spring's wear and other factors would effect the range of correct adjustment.

 

I never assumed anything... I simply said adjust it if you can.
