Throttle Grip Sticking

Post by LSU Tiger »

My throttle grip at the handlebars is sticking. It will turn but when you release it remains in that position. What is causing it to stick? There seems to be too much cable slack at the rear carburetor. Thanks.

I sprayed some wd 40 around the throttle grip and it is working great.

Clean, lubed parts are the key.
