I swear all my bikes get "hard throttle." It's like no matter what I do.....it's never like new.
I took the throttle housing apart, cleaned it all. Cleaned the inside of the throttle tube, and the handlebar.... Put it all back together, still hard and doesn't have that light like-new flick.
I've always had this problem with all my bikes, and my buddy Tom says he never has this problem. So what the hell am I doing wrong? Not washing the bike correctly? Not cleaning the throttle cable good enough? Makes me just want to buy all new OEM throttle housing, throttle tube and throttle cable....
3 things I can't stand on a race bike.... Tank slapping suspension, a rear brake pedal that goes to the dirt and a harder-than-normal throttle to twist. And mine isn't even THAT bad, but I must have it perfect. It snaps back fine, doesn't feel gritty but its just harder to twist. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
