this is the exact video i was looking for! i’m a new rider and im dealing with this issue. i had looked at multiple other videos and none were as helpful as this. THANK YOU!

This video saved me after I took my throttle housing apart to upgrade my handle bars and was trying to figure out how to put it back together. Yep i'm a noob!

Lol we all start somewhere thanks for watching.

Great video. Very important for every rider out there, well explained. Thanks.

The play in the throttle (in my 2001 GsxR case) need to be there because the cable take a little bit of tension when you turn the handle fully on right and loosing it in left so, there must be like 4 mm of play, but very well done video, clear to understand!

Just did mine now and it's 100% working thank you for the video

Great video, clear instruction. Thanks, Simon!

After I heard “Stay tuned” I couldn’t click off the video.

I intend to do all the maintenance jobs on my z900 myself, but i have no idea about the tools that would be required for the Job. I would be really grateful if you can make a video about the tools. needed.

How often should you lubricator the throttle and clutch cables?

@SimpleSimon

3 жыл бұрын

at least once a year, if your bike sits in the rain or you ride in the rain you should do it more often. Thanks for watching.

What cable grease do you use? Not the lube but the grease.

I use Synthetic Bearing grease. Thanks for watching

How often do you recommend lubing your throttle and clutch cables ? ... lets say on a brand new bike .. each year .. two years ? ...

@SimpleSimon

The Z900 manual suggest at 1,000 miles to adjust and at 7,500 miles to adjust I would lube them also. Now if you do alot of rain riding or you store your bike outside I would lube at least once a year. Any time the throttle feels sticky or slow to return I would lube at that time also.

I'm not understanding the need for that little cable tool. Why not just use the straw to spray lube in the cable housing?

Could you use this "wd-40 specialist dry lubricant" .. just curious ..

Not sure, I have never tested it. I always try and use lubes and fluids that are designed for that specific application. Thanks for watching

Hello, what type of lube did you use to apply on the ball/tip of cable? Just a general grease or a specific moto grease? Thank you?

Hi Pokemon17007 great question, the second cable is the throttle return cable. It is a safety cable incase your throttle doesn't snap back you can force it closed. Thanks for watching.

No your should be fine unless you ride in lots of weather it could start rusting. Thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe.

I just cannot get this to work no matter what I do. I do not have nearly as much slack as you do. Everything is so tight that I can’t complete this and put the throttle back together
