Wanting to know from all you YZ owners out there if any of you have had a problem with your throttle sticking @ 1/2 throttle.
At 9 hrs on bike (mostly MX) coming out of a corner throttle hangs half open on straight away (thank god). I pull clutch in and hit kill button. Start snapping throttle back and forth and all seems fine. Check cable route and nothing is visually wrong or obstructing. I go to start bike and it fires @ half throttle screaming!! Take bike back to truck and start tinkering. Pull off throttle, inspect,lube,ect. Cable seems fine. Fire bike up and all is fine until I hit whoop section, throttle hangs half open. Take bike back to truck and start messing with cable. I notice up @ the cable adjustment on throttle there is excess play. It looks like the slack in cable is pinching between the wheel that cable routs through and the housing. I adjust slack out and head back out and all seemed fine until now!!
Now at 15hrs on bike I come out of corner and blurp throttle to clear small double. Throttle hangs @ half throttle and launches me!!! I land on face of another jump some 60ft away with legs flying everywhere and yz screaming like a banshee. Thank god I am not hurt, just scared ****-less!!!! I roll bike back to truck and immediately look at slack in housing. Make another small adjustment and head back out. Hit whoop section three turns in and it hangs again. Take back and start fiddling. I find nothing wrong, cable is perfect in all areas, throttle tube and housing is new, nothing wrong. The bike was fine for six hours of riding time in between hang ups. No crashes, never been in carb for nothing, all is stock and new. I call dealer and talk to the shop manager and tell him whats going on. He wants to look at it and asks for me to bring it in. They go through the bike and find nothing!!! Said that cable adjustment on throttle cable was to tight (I admited to doing that) and that idle screw was turned to far in. Said that my bike really doesn't need to idle and they backed it out. Said that idle screw doesn't actually touch slide no more. Said it touches some actuator arm or something and that in turn touches slide for idling adjustment. Never had one of these carbs apart so I really do not know. Said it looked like this "actuator arm" could of been hanging up slide, but wasn't sure. Charged me $70.00 for all this. I said I had no problem paying it, but if this did not fix it this problem that they would be fully responsible from here on out, they agreed.
Now, I am getting ready to ride bike again. My confidence is really low in this thing. I am first going to go through whoop section about 50 times to see if problem still exists. There is a straight away right after that I am confident about getting bike shut down in.
Just looking for a little help in getting "my balls" back under me and if anyone has any advise in what the problem may be.
Not very confident in what dealer told me!!!!!!
