You know when you've rolled off the throttle in 1st or 2nd and are in decel, but then roll the throttle back on, the bike kinda jumps/lurches? Is there anything that can be done to mitigate this? Power Commander maybe? Just kind of annoying, especially when going through the twisties, it's a bit...

'07 FZ6 I know what you're thinking, yet another stuck throttle thread. Just lube the cables! I've dissembled the grip & cable housing, everything's moving freely there (well, the grip needs some TLC, 10 years of being an "outside bike", but it still turns freely with the cables...

My throttle cables got crushed and now the throttle has a hard time returning to the "off" position. It looks like one of the cable housings is also cracked, exposing the interior. Instead of cheaping out and somehow trying to fix it I decided to just replace them. 1. Should I do both cables...

If you are squeemish please don't read. The awesome state of Arkansas installed these barrie cables to keep people from running through the median and hitting other cars head on... they are; however, not good for motorcyclist. Let me explain. My coworker yesterday worked a nasty trauma...

Hello hello, Two months ago I bought a second hand fz6 with a problem in the cables of the immobiliser. The fuel pump would only work if I would turn the handlebars totally to the right. So I understood that it was a cable connection problem. One day the moto decided to stop working. After...

Doing my 12k service at the moment and following my Haynes manual stating that I need to lubricate my cables. I have a tool to do it but I have read that new cables are made of nylon and shouldn't be lube'd as it damages them? Anyone done this?

Hi, just been cleaning my throttle tube and lubing cables and general cleanup as I was experiencing binding which turned out to be the rusty bars, cleaned and greased, all good. I checked the open and close cables worked ok and sprayed in a bit of WD40 for good measure, they were opening and...

I bought a cable lube adapter and have a couple questions: 1. How do you use one of these with the curve in the throttle cables? That slit along the back of the throttle cables lets the lube shoot everywhere. 2. What kind of lubricant do you use? I had bought some that I thought would...

Anyone else have trouble with the throttle cables after going naked and using a FZ1 bar? When I pull the throttle out farther, it seems to snap back better. Do I have to go back to the factory bars? This is really starting to get me frustrated! I also tried to lube the throttle cables but...
