Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed?
Written by verncreamer on 7/25/2010 at 03:56 pm

I am unfamiliar with cable lubricant ... what should I use?

Thanks.

spraying lubricant down the cable sheaths, I saw a drastic improvement in

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.
