Hey guys my throttle has been sticking alot lately and its currently to the point where I can twist all the way open and let go and it stays there!  What do I lube it with and where do you guys recommend I lube it at? FYI its a 2009 1125R with about 10k miles | ||

I use wd40 but I spray it at the throttle bodies, so you would have to take off the intake cover and such. spray, twist, repeat as needed. | ||

for linkage and twist grip - I like white lithium - they make it in a spray with a tube for hard to reach areas...auto parts /home depot. http://www.3inone.com/products/white-lithium-greas e/ for cables (and dare I type it? "chains") - I like Tri Flow - bicycle shops / gun shops http://www.triflowlubricants.com/ Gotta agree with Milezero5 - you have to get into the air box and remove the big "grommet" - the breather tube can be a PIA to re-install - if you don't do it correctly the throttle linkage will "drag" good luck! | ||

ok you need to fix the breather tube. it is rubbing the link on the right side. I did this once and knoxx hd did it when they put my stator on. it's likely not fed up far enough. | ||

Yeah, what RT said! I've had the same problem and the breather tube was the culprit. | ||

The rubber that goes around the throttle bodies that seal the airbox also rubs, the right hand side front linkage, I trimmed off a bit of rubber and all us good. Remove the airbox and rubber then try your throttle, I'm guessing it will be fine, never oiled my cables in 15k 2008 bike ! |
