hello wonderful xs650.com community,
I recently bought a new 7/8 throttle from a local British bike supplier. It is the classic style with metal housing and a metal throttle sleeve. I hooked it up but now I find that the throttle won't return after twisting it. it is as if the carburetor springs aren't strong enough to return the throttle to idle position. But they were working for my old plastic throttle sleeve set up...
am I supposed to grease up the area where the metal throttle sleeve sits in the housing? Should I grease up between the handlebars and the inside of the throttle sleeve? Any solutions?
Thanks!
