I need tech. help! Throttle adjustment?
I was riding today and as i fine tune my suspension, and my bike overall, I noticed a few things that could be beneficial.
Has anyone adjusted there throttle? I noticed that holding straight on and pulling back shes fast as hell, but when I threw my hand over the top and pulled back shes a fuckin bomb!!!!!!!!!! I want to adjust that, so it's possible without the over the top. that is too much play for me, and the over the top puts me in an awkward riding position.
Also I hear so much from you guys adjusting your rear suspension yourselves, how? Do you need to be a pro? I've never done this myself, but I want to if I can.
I have a problem braking into a turn. I love my braided lines, I have more than enough power to stop now, however she pulls when braking into a turn now and it's un-nerving. I 99% of the time brake before a turn, until a rock slide over the weekend I rode through it then braked and turned. The left handed turn, pulled wabbly to the right.
I appreciate everyones help. I have become a great rider living through my dangerous years, and having people care enough to teach me. I have learned how to ask for what I want from mechanics, but never do much myself. I'm not nervous to work on my cars/boats, I'll do anything. When it comes to bike I play alot faster, and I have been reluctant to trust myself to do the work. All of your help has helped me to become a better overall motocyclist (Rider/Mechanic) and I thank you for that.

hotsalad, you askin for less throttle turn, or taking up cable free play?
zx10 guys have been running 1/5 turn throttle assemblies... not sure who makes them though.
Remove the right rear foot peg and braket to get the spanner wrenches at the preload collars.

you adjust the little sleeve adjusters on the cables near the guage cluster.
back them both off,
with the ignition turned on, engine off, tighten the return cable, just past freeplay.
then tighten up the pull cable.
The linkage has some freeplay in it unless the ignition is on.

forgott... leave about 3 mm freeplay in the pull cable they say, but i like mine about 1 mm, I hate sloppy throttle play, herky jerky response sucks.
