Stiff throttle
i guys,
I have an old DR650 (see thread on alternative cheap luggage) Lovely bike and bullet proof. I recently completed the Iron butt 1000 in 21 1/2 hours. The bike didn't miss a beat. The only hassle I had was a stiff throttle it opens and closes as it should but seems to be quite resistant, as a result I had a very sore hand by the end of the event. Having wet gloves wouldn't have helped due to it constantly raining. I had stripped the handle bar end of the throttle down re greased the working parts and blasted wd 40 down the cable to clean and lubricate but still it seemed quite stiff. Any thought as to how I can alleviate this problem. Cheer chaps Al. Transport is the stem without which the bright bloom of victory could not flower. Winston Churchill.

Check that the cable outer has not been crushed by the steering stops, at full lock.
Cheers bloke Nigel in NZ
