throttle sticks
When I put the bike in the garage at night everything is ok with the throttle. When IS leave te bike outside during the day the throttle does not release back. I checked and lubed cables no help at all. Any ideas thanks 1990 xt 600

Clean and lube the throttle tube on the handlebar and in the bar mounting...
|
Tried that already. What type of lube do you use? I use a type of grease
|
Grease might be too sticky, especially when its cold outside. Perhaps you could try to clean it up and gently "lube" it with wd40 or simular.
|
Thanks I will try that
|
I use a runnier type of anti seize on all mine, it's a copper based. I'm running at 15-20F with no sticking. WD-40 has a tendency to dry out and get gummy, I've had cables get real sticky using it unless reapplication is fairly frequent.

Threw some penetrating oil and seems to work. But I will try some antiseieze also its 30 f degress here too thanks for all your help
