Throttle snap back
Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2018 9:14 pm
So my zxr is my first ever road bike. I've only ever ridden/raced motocross bikes. Generally i'm used to a very very light snappy throttle action, whereby I could comfortably twist the throttle with my thumb and forefinger easily and it would snap back closed.
When i picked up my zxr my first feeling was that the throttle action was quite tough and jot snappy. It returns fine but it's definitely a heavy throttle so thought it might need new cable, lubricating etc but as i've never had a road bike before I have no idea what is or isn't normal. So how smooth and light should the throttle actually be?
