07 REV 800 Throttle

[Metalfusion]

My 13yr old nephew just got a new to him 07 Rev 800.

Im wondering if there is a quick easy way to make the throttle easier to push with his thumb so his hand doesnt get tired?

We all switched to REV's this year and I find his 800 throttle stiffer than my RT 1000 throttle.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

powermadd makes a throttle block .... not sure if it works ....

You might check and see if the throttle cable(s) and injection cable(all part of the throttle cable) might be sticking inside somewhere..... My '04 800 is almost as easy as my '06 rt1000 throttle to pull........ Rt1000 is fuel injected, so its just a throttle body flap that you're pulling, whereas the 800's are carbuereted and you're pulling on the throttle flatsides......that is why the 800 has a harder throttle to pull than the 1000

Good point RIC. Never thought about it being different because its carbed.

Go to mix and get rid of oiler that will reduce cable tension by 50 %
