Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed?
Written by verncreamer on 7/25/2010 at 12:15 am
I just installed a pair of grip puppies and they feel perfect ... the problem is
that when I twist the throttle, it won't "rebound" or return. I have not
trimmed them, but did roll each end back over itself so that no part of the grip
is touching the ends of the throttle.
What did I do wrong?

I think that it messes with the friction of the Throttlemeister, but honestly I've just gotten used to it. I probably shouldn't! -Scott --- In |
| douglasvanb 7/25/2010, 08:41 am | Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed? Hi Vern, Do you have a throttle lock on your bike? It might have gotten locked down without you realizing it. That happened to me when I first put the grip puppies on mine. I ended up leaving my grip puppies long. They hang off the |

| mac.hancock57 7/27/2010, 12:24 am | Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed? During installation of the "grip puppies" I think you pushed the original grip over toward the handle bar cover and it is binding.? Pull the original grip? back toward the bar end just enough to clear the handle bar cover.? If I rem |
| bdpickett 7/25/2010, 03:09 pm | Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed? It may just be that your throttle cables need lubricating. I don't have Grip Puppies, but I did have a sticking throttle such as you described, and after spraying lubricant down the cable sheaths, I saw a drastic improvement in throttle respo |

| dmikec... 7/25/2010, 05:34 pm | Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed? If you are going to work with the throttle, make sure you note when the housing is at and at what angle. It took me 1 half hour to get everything aligned back to plastic back together. Mike --- In |
| bdpickett 7/25/2010, 06:57 pm | Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed? There should be a pin that aligns the throttle housing with a hole in the handlebars. If the pin has become lost, it could indeed be a hassle to get things lined up properly. Be seeing you, Bruce Pickett Federal Way, WA '90 PC800 |
| dmikec... 7/25/2010, 07:39 pm | Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed? I did not see one, I have a '89 and all I saw was two screws that held the cable housing together and tighten it down to the handlebars. Where does the pin go in at? Thanks, Mike --- In |

On the front of the right handlebar, about 150mm (5-7/8") in from the end is a 3mm (1/8") hole; there is a corresponding hole in the front throttle housing half.

| bdpickett 7/26/2010, 03:34 am | Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed? The pin sits in a hole on the forward half of the throttle housing. On the front of the right handlebar, there is a 3mm (1/8") hole located 150mm (5-7/8") from the end that matches up with the pin in the throttle housing. In these phot |

Check to be sure that you did not cause the underlying grips to bind anywhere, especially on the inboard end, when you installed the grip puppies, either on the bar end weights or the throttle mechanism or any throttle lock, if you are using |
