 |
|
This may be a commonly asked question but I searched and didn't find the answer, maybe I'm not using the right words? I got an '07 CRF50 for my boy and it seems like the throttle throw is REALLY short. It goes from fully closed to fully open in about 1/8th of a twist of the grip. Is that normal for these bikes? I bought it "newish", but it was a demo that had been used on a tot track at a bike expo so it could have been messed with. I've got manual ordered, but I'm hoping for some quick info so I can get him on it with confidence. It seems it'd be difficult to modulate the throttle much with such a short throw. Yes, I did adjust the limiter to fully open.

Not normal. Check to make sure somebody didn't put a tube or shims on the cable by the slide. Should be able to tell what is going on by pulling the slide and working the throttle.

| O-weel, guess I picked up an old thread, But it sure sounds like he went the wrong way on the throttle stop. |

If you remove the throttle stop altogether, you will know if that is what is causing trouble.
