Throttle cable stuck

[cory_697]

Wondering if anyone ever experienced this issue, brand new 2022 summit edge 850 150 km on it, was riden throttle cable got stuck wide open and did not retract till we remove the thumb throttle and manually moved back and fourth a few times, then operated fine rest of the day, any thoughts ?

lube it, mine ices up and needs some courtesy spit every now and then...

What do you usually use for lube ?

 

[NoBrakes!]

a little bottle of multi lube... but I need to buy a real cable luber for bikes.

double check the routing of your cable? I know they can get tight with a sharp bend in them.

Perfect thanks, yah it gets next to impossible even after removing the hood to access it

did you put a lower riser or finger throttle?

 

[cory_697]

Lower riser went on it

 

[cory_697]

Is their something I have to do to compensate for the lower riser?

 

[NoBrakes!]

MXZ shorter throttle cable is the popular mod....

I have only heard... but I hear secondary gets removed etc... big job....

I've put lower risers on several sleds before and never had an issue but putting on a taller one will cause a problem if you don't compensate for it, btdt.

Yes so I should be fine with lower more play in cable

Yess seems like allot of work, stock risers are 5 inch I got 4 inch so shouldn’t be an issue

ya the 2017 stock riser to the 3" knucks is a no go lol

 

[NoBrakes!]

brake hose and throttle cable be like

On my last doo the cable would start to freeze if the thumb warmer was on while riding in light dry powder. I only use thumb warmer on the trail now.

Yah you think I should go back to factory risers ?

not saying that, just look at cable routing and the easy stuff like lube first. your 1" change shouldnt need anything else.
