sticking throttle on wifes zx6r f3

[lydanial]

the throttle is sticking on, and has to be rolled off.

i have narrowed it down to the throttle as i have stripped it and cleaned it and then it will snap back fine for a little while before sticking again.

suggestion please.

thanks

As in, the handle grip is affecting it's "snap back" time?

If cables are freely moving, how close is the grip to both the bar and and throttle housing? Close enough to catch?

Have you suck any lubricant in there after cleaning?
I'd lube under the throttle tube as well as the cable.
As above, also check it's not rubbing on the switch gear or the bar end.
A slightly bent bar will do the same, but presume that's not the case here.

i did consider that it may be catching the bar end, so i rolled the rubber back and it still did it.

i couldnt get the bar end off anyway as its seized.

Hi

Make sure that there is a bit of free play in the cables. If the open and closing cables are adjusted to pull tightly against each other then it can cause the throttle to stick.

All the best

I've found that getting a flat screwdriver under the grip to allow you to spray a bit of WD40 up inside it is great for making minor adjustments, get's it nice and slippy but that wears off in a very short space of time so you don't discover any inconvenient lack of control when riding.
