Topic: smooth throttle

[bert96]

My throttle on my 750 is hard,i alway find it hard since i have the bike,all my other bikes
was not that hard.

Is it just me or you find it hard too

some of you ever did something about that

could be you have dry cables mate.
Honda says a little oil down then does the trick, but i think that will merely hold dust and grit.
Try a little graphite powder down the cables, might do wonders.
Could be the way the cables are routed, check to make sure there are no kinks or tight bends in them too.

Its the throttle spring.  Its very, very stiff.

Why?  I have no idea.  None of my other CB's (350 and 2 400's) have been like that.

I'd like to fit a 'lighter' throttle spring but havent turned up much at mcmaster or the hardware stores.

The throttle on my '79 CB650 was extremely hard to turn.  I ended up trying to unwinding the throttle return spring until it held against part of the carburetor.  Not a perfect solution as I have to snap the throttle shut to get complet closure, but at least my wrist doesn't cramp up trying to hold the throttle open.
