Throttle locks ?
Written by ombestudio on 7/14/2010 at 07:41 pm

Thank you guys for the responses.

I actually cut the tab off the throttle lock and figured I would just drill into
the housing. I never got that far because I can't seem to position it where it
isn't binding. As far as having the screw for the tension to tight,it seems when
it is not too tight it is with only one turn and I'm afraid it will pop out. I
also have enough room between the housing and the grip so it doesn't seem to
rub. I will take another look.

nylon washers and put one on each side to keep it away from the housing and the
grip and now all is well. This is my third Vista and it was the first time I got
the tab hole in the wrong location. If your reading this Tim, yours is drilled
in the right spot.

bind the throttle. Also there is the screw to adjust the tension, do you have it
too tight?

all my past motorcycles. I can't get the freakin thing onto the PC though. I
understand about either cutting a slot or drilling a hole to mount it, that
isn't the problem. It seems to be too tight. I guess I have the one for 7/8 bars
but they don't have one for 1" bars except the one with the bar across the
housing. With the single one I have, the throttle is too tight, it doesn't just
release and snap back and you can't even twist the throttle normally. I have
enough room between the housing and grip. I hope I made some sense.
