    Recomendations for throttle locks

    in The Garage

    Posted

    WOOT!

    Finally got the Throttlemeister to work properly.

    What I had to do since it was always too tight or too loose was to identify the problem. The brass side of the unit (IMHO) is too slick to make a good mating surface with the throttle size.

    So, with some help, I got some gasket material and cut a doughnut shape that was big enough to extend just beyond the brass ring and then make a hole for the parts that pass through it. Then with a flat surface and some very fine sandpaper, score up the brass side so it's no longer perfectly smooth.

    Just enough for it to have some "grip" on the gasket material and the gasket has no problem gripping the throttle side.

    the friction sleeve may not be tight and moves, try glueing it in plce with super glue or some thing that will hold it secure to the throttle sleeve. and space corectly. might need cleaning with acetone too.

    I'll double-check that. I'd not want to glue anything until I'm certain it will work, but I'll watch and see if it's sliding in the sleeve.

    Throttlemeister issue

    Hate to bring this one back from the grave, but I'm having the same problem.

    If I shim the Throttlemeister so that it holds the throttle tight when engaged, it drags when disengaged. If I add a shim, it lets the throttle return normally when off, but it really doesn't hold when it's on. If it won't hold tight when engaged, it's not worth having.

    To me, the friction sleeve just doesn't have enough grip against the brass ring to do the job.

    I also have these installed on heated grips, which extend at least an inch longer than the stock grip assembly.

    You're kidding, right?

    Pennsylvania.

    Here's a link....

    Comes stock. No Corbin, no Ohlins, no damper, no farkles, no blings, no rack...all stock....'cept for HID high beam and anything else I'm too lazy to take off.

    Whoa!

    I may have met you a couple of years back. Were you in a group ride that stopped at the tavern for lunch near the intersection of 44 and 664 in Haneyville?

    I've only used BikeBandit to price check OEM parts (and to verify part numbers). I ordered from them when there were no reputable shops nearby and I always got ass raped on shipping costs.

    I'd never think about going to them for non-part items.

    Can you pull them off without unscrewing them? That means you stripped the threads.

    Is it that no matter how tight you make them they still are loose? Maybe the bolts are too long and are hitting something before you finish tightening them.

    Is it that no matter what you try, the bolts don't seem to get tighter and they fall right off? The bolts are too short.

    I have no clue other than those gems.

    oil change issues

    You buy HONDA filters? :icon_eek:

    I go with the Purolator ONE filters. Rated best and nowhere near stealership prices.

    When I'm in doubt, I put a fine mesh over the drain hole in my oil catch pan (it's one of those EZ haul to the oil recycling center) so I can see what exactly came out in the oil. If I see caked dirt fall in with the mix, I have an idea of how much of it I should see.

    WANTED PCII CD

    in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted

    Posted

    Pretty straightforward. I got a PCII from vetteman, and it's installed, but the original CD in his package is damaged from too much sitting in the garage (moisture isn't good for CDs....I have 5 other coasters at home I'm trying to recover that just went bad with age).

    I got the software on Dynojet's webpage, but if anyone has a PCII with the original software (version 2.7.8.11) and and burn me a copy, I'd appreciate it. :icon_biggrin:

    PCII MAP NEEDED

    in The Garage

    Posted

    I don't know if there's a site with every map you can imagine, but when I Google, I'm not getting useful results.

    1999 CBR1100XX....all stock equipment.

    All I want to do with my PCII is improve the gas mileage to as best as possible. Anyone already have a map that does that for my setup?

    Stupid question in 3.....2......1.....

    Why is the key secured with what appears to be the largest zip tie known to man, to aforementioned handlebars?:icon_think:

    If it's your only key, it'd be a bitch to lose it.

    Zero,

    As usual, you have no idea what you're talking about. You may not know this, but you are not required to answer every question. In fact, if you're clueless it's better if you don't reply.

    Anyho.....

    That bike is at a salvage yard, waiting to be auctioned. Till it's sold, the yard desires the key to remain with the bike, pretty much what Pat said.

    Didn't realize my piss could fly so far as to reach your Cheerios.

    My reply was not much different from Pat830, so I guess I'm pretty darn "clueless." :icon_rolleyes:

    I know a guy with a Ducati who showed up for a group ride. No keychain. The key slipped from his hands and went down that narrow gap between the key cylinder and his tank. We had to half disassemble his bike to fish the key back out of the engine. :icon_eek:
