Hey guys havent checked in a in a while, bike is starting great and running after months of sitting outside. under a cover but still... problem is, well, one of the problems is that my throttle is loose, meaning slipping off of my handlebar. (i had someone elese build my bike.) he did a great job but i dont know how it was atteched in order to fix it myself. anyway i see where the hole is drilled in the handle bar. and read something about a pin??? i cant find where to read how to resecure it back onto the bar. it still works, just twists around and isnt the best way to ride, knowing it could slip off at any moment. any tips would be great!!
thanks

The throttle on most of these kits is cheap plastic. There is a plastic "pin" on one half that goes in that hole to keep the throttle from rotating, this pin sheers off pretty easy so it might be gone already on yours.
There are two screws that hold the two halves of the throttle together, the nuts on the bottom half can fall out when you loosen them so take care not to lose them. I would suggest you try some rubber around your bars under the throttle, then tighten, a strip of an old inner tube works well. A better solution would be to just buy a better throttle, a real METAL throttle would be an improvement. They are easy to find, ebay or any place that sells motorcycle or minibike parts sells them, they don't really cost much.
My original throttle liked to slip like yours, and it also became worn inside and would slip internally leaving even more play in the throttle, so I replaced it with an all metal throttle and never looked back, never had another problem. I was also happy to have my choice in grips again, instead of that hard plastic thing that comes on the factory throttle....
