CRF throttle sticking

[moto_maniac]

has any one had problems with throttles being stiff on CRF450?? mine was stiff but its slowly getting better. its not getting caught on anything that i can see or anything like that. everyone that has one around me has had the same problem and after a while it just goes away. i was just wondering if anyone has had same problem or heard of it and knows how to fix it

lube your cables, check under your throttle tube to make sure there isnt dirt in there.

also, remember that the bikes have 2 throttle cables, acting as a push-pull system.

wouldnt want the throttle 2 stick wide open on 1 of those thing, they hook!

ok, just thought I'd let ya in on a little secret Brent...there is such a thing as "netequite" it's etequite for online forums and messaging, and one of the most common rules of this is that capitals are used at the start of sentences, if you're one of us people that actually take the time to use punctuation, and when online, complete words used in capitals are concidered yelling. Now, I've noticed you tend to post a lot of replies in complete capitals. I dunno if it bothers anyone else, but to me it just seems rude, and when i know you're not meaning to be, people can take it the wrong way, especially online when how you word what you say is exactly how it comes across to others, as there is no "tone of voice" with reading.

Sorry, needed to be said, while I'm here....WD40 does wonders in throttle tubes :) or better yet, if ya can get ya hands on it, a product called Inox, works wonders as it doesn't dry out ;)
