throttle

Perhaps this is a knee-jerk reaction and am at risk of being a jerk as well. I apologize if it is, especially to our newest "member" Throttle Doctor, if my prejudice is unfounded. You guys prolly noticed a post (which has been closed since) made by a 2008 owner peddling his gadget earlier...

Anyone know where I can get a throttle sleeve? I bought these grips and tried to glue them on like the instructions said. Well ... I pushed it on all the way on a test run, then applied the glue, pushed the grip on ... and it only went half way. So my new $75.00 grips are now trash and I...

Hi I am a new member to the club and need some help to see if I can cut down the diagnostic time for this fault . I have not had the bike long and the fault came on quickly . As soon as it starts to develop good power it seems to run out of fuel and effectively cuts on all 4 cylinders. Fuel...

Ok the other night on my way home my throttle stuck open at about 3/4 throttle. I actyally had to hit the kill switch going into a turn!. I blew it off thinkingh that maybe my glove was sticking to the grip. Well just today on my way to work it stuck open at about 5k, I hit the kill switch and...

can anyone tell what the numbers on the throttle plates represent ? TIA

So when I reassembled my carbs, all the butterflies are open about a fingernail's width. I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen, but there's no amount of screwing/unscrewing the sync screws that will get them to close. I even backed out the idle screw, but they all still stay just barely...

Hey all, I am still trying to figure out why there is so much free play with my ss motion pro throttle cables. One thing I noticed when checking everything out was that the holes on the throttle tube where the cables actually attach are different sizes. Or at least they are on mine. Does anyone...

Hey all, quick question. On the throttle cables, do the cables that have the adjustable barrel nuts connect to each other? Reason I ask is that since I put the ss lines on, there has always been a crap load of free play on my throttle. When I installed them, I just assumed those two ends...

WOW what a fun time I just had. I bought my max about a month ago and today I had my first real chance to run her a bit. I did some alley sliding and some roll on romps up to about 120 on I-75. Am I pleased with the results. I also had the pleasure of pissing off a vrod that caught me at the...

Hey guy's I need some help I have an 86 VMAX 1200. It was running fine and gradually it got to where it had a hesitation . Which turned into the way it is now, idles rough and dies when you try to throttle it at all. What I have done--Sent the carbs off and had them tested on another max and...

I was in the garage earlier jacking with the throttle adjuster by the handlebar trying to take up a little slack....loosened the lock nut and the adjuster would not turn by hand....Got a pair of pliers and was screwing it in a little and the plastic broke.....DANG!!!!cheap crap.....gonna super...

i recently bought a 1993, sorry no pics yet. currently installing kerker and stage 7. I have a parts donor set of carbs off ebay and may need to use one of the carb bodies. there is a different part # on the butterflies. one is a 125 and the other is 130. is one bigger? are all carbs...

Attached are three PDF's that show VENTURE handle bar switches being disassembled and cleaned. Why three you ask, the clutch side I am fairly sure is the same as the Venture. The throttle side I am not sure about. It might resemble the 86-93 switch with the cruise control button in it. I think...

Is there a way to get after market throttle cable. The ones on the carb side . I checked motionpro and they didn't have it. Max

I currently have drag bars on my max and am quite sure the previous owner had the throttle cables custom made shorter than stock. I want to install the 2" wider than stock handlebars from Pythonmotorsports, but the throttle cables I have on there now are a little too short. I'm wondering if...

Has anyone ever had a high idle and checked everything but could not figure it out ,,,well if I roll forward on the throttle it will idle at 1000 rpms but if I let go it goes back up to 3000 rpms ,,,that could be adjusted out right ??????:ummm:

Every once in a while when the bike is running I snap the throttle and I hear a click. Some times I snap it a couple of times in a row and it will click each time. But it only happens rarely and only when I snap the throttle quick. The sound is coming from down under and is not just the...

Hello, Can anybody describe how to adjust the throttle cables. If I put them as the service manuel dictates (assuming I'm interpreting the book correctly), the is no throttle return. If I adjust the cables so the throttle returns, the cable slides are out of their prescribe marks. Also...

Hi, I would like to know if there is a bike like an R1 or something that you can use the throttle tube from. I would like to get a new throttle tube, and am using cheap aftermarket grips, so it doesn't need to have the ridge for the chrome trim on it. Any idea's?

Anyone have an extra i can buy quick or know where to get them?
