Anyway i try again. Failte; Shauny to the YOC You could try taking the cable off at handlebar end and pour some 2 in one oil down along the cable. If this doesnt work you could take the cable out of its casing for inspecting (frayed or spliting) if it ok then clean the cable and oil it and put back in casing and try again. Hope this helps.
April 23, 201014 yr Moderator It's well worth the Peace Of Mind....to remove the throttle cable & hang it vertically.... & Spray the Hell out of it with some of this ..... THEE stuff for lubing all cables
April 23, 201014 yr On my wife's Honda 450, the throttle was a little sticky/slow closing. Turns out the cable never had enough free play. I've since oiled all the cables and everything works great.
