I just got my rcr stage one kit this week and Im going to do the install next week. I am wondering if you guys might know why my throtte doesnt snap back or is this normal it feels tight when you give it gas I dont know what to do should i take the carb off and clean it or what?

 

Did any of your mods do anything to the carb or cable? If you were in the carb did you get any grit on the slide? IS the cable binding on anything?

 

I didnt install it yet, the cable looks fine is there any way to lube it? should i take the carb apart and clean it?

 

Most dealers sell an actuall cable lube kit. It comes with cable lubricant and a clamp with an injection port. Are they worth the money? That's up to each individual to decide. They work to some extent. I have one and use it as needed. Can you see any fraying of the cable in places it is exposed? The cable on your bike splits in two by the carb and one end does the oil injector. Look for binding and dirt there as well. Here is a diagram of an '00 model.

I have been lubing cables on bikes and ATVs for 30 years with ND 30W motor oil
and have never had one break, stick, or fray yet.

Easy to do:
Remove cables from the upper end of whatever they are attached too.

Hang them from something overhead with fishing line, 15# test works nicely.
Tie the line to the sheath only.

using rubber bands and plastic sandwich bags, make a funnel right where the
wire rope enters the sheath. Cut one corner out of each baggie and secure
to the cable sheath tightly with rubber bands. Tape one corner of the baggie to the
fishing line.

Take loose the lower end just enough that the sheath is loose in its holder
and the wire has some movement.

Poor oil in the baggie funnel in small quantities until it runs out the lower end.
Working the wire back and forth while the oils soaks in will help loosen any
dirt in the sheath and speed it's delivery to the lower end. Continue until the
oil comes out clean. Allow the oil to drain for a 1/2 hour or so.

Re-attach all cables and adjust for correct free play per your owners manual.

 

I've done similar making paper funnels. I've just grown impatient in the last several years. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
