Chip M Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 My new cable and caps came in the mail today. I can't believe have messed around for a month or so trying to get my carbs tuned and figure out what pilots would work best for me and had not taken the time to scrap those boxes on top of my carbs. The TORS was disabled when I bought the bike but pretty much just unplugged. What a pleasure it seems to be to work on it without that crap in my way. I got the carbs drilled and tapped and got em back on and sync'd. Lovin life. I pulled the unit under the left front fender which was unpugged when I bought it and I was hoping it is ok to get that cable out of my throttle also. I see that it has a plug just before the wiring harness that I can undo and maybe strip the rest out of the wiring harness all together at a later date. If any of you guys still have the stock throttle,can I take the wiring from inside the thumb throttle box without starting troubles? I will be sure to plug up the hole it leaves behind. One more thing, I see that there is some old crusty goo inside the thumb throttle box that I assume WAS grease. Should I coat the lever inside with some good grease? Thanks for you input. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 I jerked that crap out of throttle and gooped hole in gromet with silicon. Clean whatever that stuff is and lube with silicon spray. Quote

Thanks much Larry, That is exactly what I will do. I hope now the changes I make to my jetting / tuning will stay consistent. Right or wrong, at least consistent ..............Take care Quote
