Is there a way to loosen up the thumb throttle?

[rynb15]

My thumb throttle is a little on the stiff side. After a couple hours of ridding i can barley push it in my thumb hurts so bad. :: Sorry if its a dumb question.

Same problem here man. I called Jeff and I don't think he had softer springs for the stock carbs (which is what i have, didn't look at your sig). I'm going to cut my stock springs to see if i can soften it up some.

Also the extended thumb levers work great too.

I have a thumb throttle extender if someone wants to give me 10 bucks for it, including the ride.

It's just sitting in my tool box, I bought a brand new SRP complete thumb throttle.

This is the one I got:

take off the throttle cable and lube it up really good while working the cable in and out. next lube the handlebar thumb assembly and make sure that moves with no resistance. finally i have had good luck cutting 3 coils off my stock springs in the carbs. makes the thumb throttle about as touch as a raptors (which isnt tough at all).

Have you tried it out? How does it work? If the offer still stands I'll take it off your hands for my 01.

Thanks.

I ended up buying a whole new throttle assembly, wanted a nice new one that was adjustable too.

The few times I used it, it's ok....

 

Let me look in my toolbox/box of parts and I'll PM you the details.

 

I can ship on Monday, if you'd like.....

Just a tip, if you cut some off of your stock springs stretch them back out to the original length. :beer: Also works pretty good to roll them around and around on a sander/grinder to sand down the wire diameter But not too much.

I was always under the impression that removing material from the wire diameter (second method described above) was the way to go. :thumbsup:

If you were to do this and didn't get both springs the same would there be any problems in the carbs not syncing up?
