Twist throttle won't return with grip puppies installed?
Written by bdpickett on 7/26/2010 at 05:37 pm

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 photos, I have highlighted the hole by making a white circle around
it:

The part numbers for the throttle housing halves are the same for all years
of PCs, however, the p/n for the handlebar itself is different for an '89
than for the following years. Both my '90 and my '96 have pins to align the
throttle housing on the handlebar, but I can only assume that the '89 would
follow suit.
