I just got an HD throttle from Sick Bikes because my throttle cable broke and I figured why not just get a new throttle?
Long story short...I can't get it to work.
Even when I first put it on, I couldn't get it to move freely. So, I took it apart and discovered that the grip part tightens right through the threads and pulls itself tight, either against the screw on plate, or the body of the throttle itself.
I put loctite on the threads, adjusted it to where it was loose enough to twist easy and let it cure....that didn't last long. First time I pulled it to WOT, the loctite let loose and it tightened again--sticking at WOT until I manually turned it back.
I am not impressed with this throttle. Did I screw it up somehow, or is that just the way it (doesn't) work?
