throttle

Hello all, Removed the carbs last fall but only disconnected #4 from the gang. Replaced them this week and it runs fine but the throttle will not return to "closed' by itself, I have to roll it forward. I thought that the cable routing was incorrect and bound up but cannot find any photos. Do...

I have a new set of bars on the way, which will necessitate extending everything running to them. Now hoses and wires are easy for me. The cables, not so much. I have seen that Motion Pro can make them to order, though they are not cheap. I am keeping the stock throttle sleeve/ switch set up...

Changing bars, grips, levers today...stuck! What is holding the throttle side switch gear on? It starts to slide then stops. Thought I would ask before taking the whole assembly apart...other side slid off easy..

So I did everything under the sun, and now the bike can dependably get me from A to B :eusa_dance: Unfortunately, this throttle lag is still a pretty big safety concern. Keep in mind this is a Vgas set up IE: I rode to school today since I saw high of 40 and no rain, on the way home, a...

I bought my 98 vmax 10 days ago and have put 250 miles on it and she ran good. Today when I took the bike for a ride when I came to an intersection the idle would go up to 3000 rpm's. If I would rev it a couple times it might come down a little. Any ideas what would make it do this. Was...

Bike runs rough at steady throttle. Seems bad at any steady speed almost like it's missing or cutting out.. Just had bike at shop for this problem they dyno'd it and jetted it and did carb sync. Told me to come get it but still same issue... Any ideas? Morleys jet kit Kerker pipe V boost...

New guy, probably old question. 2004 max, all stock except supertrapp slip-ons. Carbs rebuilt, valves adjusted a few months ago. Anyways, I noticed when running down the road at low rpm if I gas it, it cuts out till the rpms come up. Don't have any idle, or starting issues, but have also...

Anyone know the throttle tube length for an 85 model? I did a search but couldn't actually find a definite length. Got a pair of grips I've been looking at and I don't want to do what I did last time and order some that are too short. Appreciate the help.

Does motion pro sell lower cables for the Vmax? I'm looking for a set but can't seem to find em anywhere and don't want to spend $50+ for OEM

Just wondering if a throttle tube/grip from a venture will fit an 85 vmax.. I've got a brand new set of isogrips that list the venture sitting here and would love to put em on the vmax but not sure if the fit is the same on the tube?

I will need to get at least a pair of custom throttle cables made for the RSV/Venture/VMax Hybrid project. The bike is using a 2nd gen frame with a 1st gen motor in it. Venture 2nd gen motors were dogs. I am considering eliminating the throttle junction block interface and running new...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and to the Vmax. I picked up my '85 with about 18k mile on it. It had very poor idle quality, bogged in between shifts and bucked and popped at cruise. I did the shotgun and it made a huge difference, but there are still some issues. The idle is erratic...

Bike was running well at the beginning of the season. But I had to leave for 6 weeks for business, I didnt 'winterize' the bike since I was supposed to be back in 2 weeks but testing problems drug the out of town out 4 weeks.. ugh. Now I get back and the bike starts fine, but whenever I...

Not sure if this is the best place for this question...so if it isn't my apologies. Is it normal to have some negative play on the throttle? What I mean is, I can turn my throttle in reverse slightly with a little effort twisting action. When I do this the rpm's can drop by about 200. When i let...

I'm thinking of replacing my handle bar controls with some M-Switch in my continuing quest to simplify and clean up the ride. My issue now the throttle. Does anyone know of a unit that is just the throttle/throttle cable housing?

I need to replace my throttle cables (push & pull). I can find a new OEM set for about less than $30 in Ebay. Is there any advantage to go for aftermarket cables? Thanks.

Okee dokie, so I FINALLY got my carb rebuild kits in (I still need to order some new diaphram rubbers though...). Anyways, I was excited as hell to pull the carbs off but of course reality smacked me in the face. How in the hell do I get the throttle cable off?! Anyone have some pics? Also, how...

35000 miles 06 stock max well kept not thrashed came off freeway the other day coasted to stop engine felt like not responding well to reving up to leave the stop sign, heard what sounded like low oil pressure clatter from rods or somthing with a two tone sound like a piston wristpin noise. I...

Hello to all you pros! I have a question for those more knowledgeable than myself. Yesterday I received some very very nice exhaust parts from the highly recommended Mr. Morley! I have a Kerker 4-2-1 and he redid my midpipe and can/cap. So i removed the old the put on the new. Of course I wanted...

I put a SS Vgas throttle cable on last Feb and today it just broke where the cable connects to the handgrip! It looks like a defect cause it looks like it pulled out of the brass grommet instead of the cable actually breaking! I put about 2000 miles TOPS on it and that's just riding on sunny...
