throttle tube removing

Post by terminatr »

How do you get the throttle tube off of the handlebar? I want to clean it. Dropped it in the mud and sand. Crap got in between tube and handlebar. Doesn't feel smooth.

Loosen two screws and slide it off.

If you have barkbusters you either need to remove the throttle side one or be happy enough to blow it out after removing the two screws and opening the throttle housing.

the two screws Karl mentioned are hidden underneath a flexible rubber cover
look at the throttle assemble and you'll see it
just peel the rubber back to reveal the two screws and the whole thing comes apart

I bought a new tube. What do I use to grease it up?
