There’s about 1.5cm deadzone in my throttle.
I have taken it to 2 mechanics, they opened it up and lubricated stuff, but it didn’t help.
The service manual expects a dual-cable setup, but the previous owner replaced it with this.
Do I tighten it at the throttle body? Do I buy a second throttle cable and run it? A mechanic recommended against that because it could catch on things.
I can’t imagine two mechanics both missing the obvious, but sure, why not. Assuming the cable is tightened already as far as it will go, then it is either the chinesium throttle housing, or your cable is worn out. If it was my Z1000, that cable would be stretched and busted for sure
I don’t see the need to run a return throttle cable, as long as you keep the entire throttle assembly clean and lubed. The return cable is to close the throttle butterfly even in situations where some dust or dirt is gumming up the works. Unintended acceleration is great when you’re ready to donate your organs.
Nice bike. The Z1000 is a beast
