VM34 VS BS34 throttle pull

[DeftQuiver]

Hey Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone had some insight on whether this is normal or not. I just picked up some new VM34's from 650central (love that place by the way), and the split 2-1 cable from him.

My question is regardingk the throttle pull being a bit stiffer than it was with the BS34's. It makes sense to me that the pull would be a bit tougher since you have to pull up the slides with the VM whereas you are just opening the throttle plate with the BS. Is this what you guys have found?

Throttle cable is well lubed.

Thanks,
Deft

Sorry... called them BS38's in the title... It's a 1980 and has the 34's.

The vm34 will pull harder its normal.

Call Mike at 650 Central and ask him to send you a pair a lighter VM springs. Your trottle will have a very easy pull.

Yes they are harder to pull. Have you had the bike running yet? I notced that mine beacame noticeably easier to pull when they finally had gas run in them. I know the slide doesn't actually have gas on it, but some eventually will be around the slide, and it did make a difference.
