Throttle is heavy

[kingdirt]

Hi guys,

Don't know if anyone else ever had this problem, but I feel that my throttle is very heavy, you know, it just hasn't got that snappy feel. Normally I'm not worrying about such things, but offroad it's annoying since it makes fluent riding more difficult because of the amount of force I need to put in the throttle. My mate also rode the bike and he said exactly the same thing.
Can is be solved, I thought new cables (these ones are mind you 20 yeahs old by now) or maybe lighter springs at the carb?
I need adviceon this one since it kind of ruins my riding moment lol

Thanks,

Dom

might be something as simple as the bar end has got knocked and tightened up the throttle, failing that take the throttle grip apart and oil the cables. and leave them overnight.

If neither work then new cable is an easy thing to sort out, but if its still rideable I would wait until next service, that way you can take the bike apart and do it the same time you check the valves and carbs etc..

Thanks man, I'll start by opening the throttle grip and oil everything... if that doesn't work it's new cables

New cables it is... old ones were knackered...
