Throttle Sticking... after grip change?

[theckeler]

I changed my grips and now the throttle is sticking, anyone know what's going on? ha... Going to tear it apart tomorrow and lube it a bit.

Check to make sure the grip isn't shoved all the way up to the throttle housing,if you have handguards make sure it's not rubbing there and if you have an open ended throttle tube make sure you have some clearance on the inside of the grip.If all else fails check the cable inside the throttle housing.

Oh duh ha... ya got handguards, bet that's what it is... I just changed the cable a little bit ago so I figured it wasn't that.

also grip glue can get shoved up between the handle bar and throttle tube

Ya that's what happened, I had to clean it all up... working now thanks guys!

its always a good Idea to take the throttle off for installing grips or if you do have bark busters just cut the end of the grip off before installing ...then you can clean up any thing that you see as a problem
