Anybody else have a sticky throttle? I talked to the dealer and he said there is a recall, but the recall only includes the cap and o-ring to the thumb throttle assembly. I left the machine and asked him to call Polaris and see if they would warranty the cable itself because of the leak from the o-ring and cap, hopefully they will seeing as how the cable cost just around $90.00

 

Mine was sticking on my 99 400 sport and I cleaned and lubbed the cable, now it works great.
Get a cable lubbing tool (sorry I forgot the offical name of the tool.)it's not very expensive tool, worth having.
Later Rictor.

 

Rictor, if i'm not mistaken your sport was included in that recall, you might want to check into it. Later on

 

I just bought a 99 400 scrambler polaris hold over. Actually it,s the wifes but the first time it seen any mud or water there went the cable. Harder then pulling a set of triples on a sled. Plus it stuck at half throttle and the etc switch did not work !!!!!!!! I brought it in and the dealer had it for a week did not do a thing to it but they say polaris will not warrenty the cable, PISSID ME OFF!!!!!! Kinda a accedent waiting to happen don,t you think. Well i bought a cable and will be replacing it myself. So i can say that i was not real happy with there answer. I did oil the cable up and that did help some so mayby i can save the old one for a spare, The cable lube is called CABLE LIFE. PJ1 MAkes a great kit i,ve been told Try it it might work.
