Throttle sticking
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Just bought a banshee and it has a motion pro twist throttle on it and the throttle keeps sticking wide open, will any banshee throttle cable work on the twist throttle or do I need a special one for that? The cable is frayed a little when you take the cap off the twist throttle so i figured its just the cable.

Also did the guy that put the twist throttle on need to cut the bars or anything to put it on? I was thinking about just getting a thumb throttle for it.

I squirted WD-40 down it yesterday and it worked alright and then today it stuck so i sprayed a little more down it from the top and inside where you take the top off on the twist throttles and it just kept sticking really bad.

Take the cable out the rubber hose and soak it with lubricant, you could use motor oil, it shouldn't hurt it., then try it.

does it have any caps bolted on the the end of the handle bars? i had a bike that had this problem and the end caps were too tight and they would just hold the throttle wherever you twisted it to.

no caps
