dan28 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 i want to replace the throttle on my xvs the previous owner has fitted a mini moto throttle i think this may be why it doesnt run right its hard to find a xvs throttle do any other bikes use the same throttle assembly?

Paulwhite Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 as long as the movement from cable to carb is ok then it wont matter if its a different throttle setup, but saying that the drag uses the twin cable setup, why is the bike not running properly? whats it doing?

dan28 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 when i got it ,it didnt run it bogged down an wouldnt go this was sorted by stripping the carb an draining the tank after that it did ride ok but seemed to lack power the choke cable was bodged (by me as it didnt have one) i later decide to fit a clutch lever off a gold wing as it has the choke lever is built into the clutch lever clamp an looks tidyier after doing this it warms up on choke fine but when you try to set off there is no power from the throttle when you move it slightly when engaging first gear but it never really picked up straight away if you give it say half a turn or more its fine but thats no good when trying to set off the tank has been drained an the carb cleaned twice it has new plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
