Tighten throttle

[Mikester88]

My whole throttle keeps moving. Like the whole plastic piece with the starter button and all. Sometimes the whole thing starts turning down and I have to grab the plastic and turn it back up. Sometimes it starts sliding towards the end like it's ganna slide right off the handle bar lol. How to u tighten that up?

There should be a screw or two on the underside of the plastic housing. There should also be a hole in the bottom of the handlebar and a little plastic peg that sticks out where the controls should be on the bars.

not to sound mean but if you need to ask this question you should get the dealer to service your bike and make sure its done correctly. Sounds like a warranty item anyways. You can have quite a scare or accident if you dont have the throttle operating correctly.

Wow, just looked up your location... you're way down there (spent time in Slidell and a weekend or two in New Orleans..), like way down... man, I'll tell you like I've told all my other Louisiana buddies, have some crawfish for me!

I haven't looked, but it should be one or two bolts/screws that will tighten it down. You just have to spend a little time with your baby and get to know her. Every tool you will ever need is in the toolkit (though not the best out there, really recommend investing in a good set of hex head sockets and basic tools if you haven't all ready)...

If you're not comfortable wrenching around, find a buddy who is and learn from them. If you have to go to the dealer.... ask questions (I've learned a lot over the years, at a price premium of course, by simply asking, "What/How/Why did you do what you did to find and fix my problems").

Good luck!

And I would totally give the dealer crap fro half assing the assemble job. That's bush league!

I love the smell of crawfish cooking... the spices will make your nose run from like 15 feet away - just awesome.

Party at your place!

no, they put it in with all the other seafood... already cooked (read: over cooked) and cold.... just ain't the same as a good 'ol crawfish boil, with a bit of potato and mini-corn'on'the'cobb (and a little homebrew )

 

[Mikester88]

Oh hells yea.

Ummm yeah... Never seen crawfish on a menu in my life in California. So yes, you guys are all odd balls for eating that crap! :rof: :justkidding:

When I told my grandpa from OH what I found to be the yummiest, cheapest seafood I had ever found (not to mention, spices to burn in/out and sideways).... he said "You're eating mudfish???" yep... one and the same

Suck the head, bite the tail, :iconbeer:! over and over...

Get it right, they eat armadillo! :rof: :justkidding:

Ever eaten crawfish Jon????

Like I said, not once in 31 years have I ever even seen crawfish as a meal. Bait, yes, food, no. :thumbup:

Now grill up some lobster tail, that's good stuff. But sucking the head out of a piece of bait? No thanks!

LOL. I'll drive an hour and a half up there for a lot of things. But that's just not one of them! :eyebrow:

Oh and sorry for the :hijack:

HA HA crawfish is a way of life down here! My best friend from college is from Oregon and I got him hooked. He text me the other day saying he and friends went catching crawfish, in Oregon, by HAND! then boiled them up for the UFC fight.. I taught him well... :rof::rof:

 

[Mikester88]

Yea people don't know till they try it. Crawfish tastes amazing. You eat shrimp Jon?

 

[JonKerr]

Some. I like a grilled shrimp skewer now and then. Not a huge seafood eater. For me seafood consists of grilled shrimp, fried calamari, grilled lobster tail, and a good grilled bass filet. Other than that, I'm not huge on it. Worst thing I've ever eaten was some kind of tuna sushi I tried at a high end seafood place on Coronado a few years back.

Well Jon, crawfish is just like a shrimp only better. Way better. Oh, and shrimp is bait too actually it's the most common bait we use down here ha.
