Throttle sensitive over bumps...... 4 Months, 1 Week ago
|
|
I recently replaced my stock R* grips with Kury Iso's. 
On the throttle side i have tightened it to where there is maybe 1/8 of twist play before the cables pull the throttle....
Problem im having is when i ride over bumps the slightest movement of my throttle hand causes me to accel the throttle....this is getting annoying.
Any tips, help, insight or otherwise thoughtful advice is appreciated...I didnt have this problem with my stock grips
THANKS!! Mike

Fuel injected bikes are very sensitive that way. What year model you riding? You might need to give a smidge more slack in the throttle cable ......BB

BB - thanks for the reply...
Im riding a carb'd 07 midnight roadstar...
I did have more play in the grip right after i switched grips...i thought it was too much so i tightened it up.
Im gathering no play in the grip at all would cause the twist to be more sensitive (obviously, now that i think about it.) Wonder what a good range of free movement would be... |

Just release those cable enough (READ: not much) to relieve the problem. Give them a couple more turns out , ride it , and see if you like it.  BB |

Removed the push cable and overtightened the other and those were my symptoms exactly.
