trjohnson833 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've cut off one loop on each and it's made it a little softer. Can I cut off another loop off each carb? Will it mess it up?

draggins10 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I cut my throttle springs and it didn't make much of a difference. Then I bought An extended throttle lever and itmade it much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfaith08 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 There's a limit to how much you can cut (obviously). Cutting the spring will actually make the spring itself stiffer, but shortening also reduces the preload of the spring which has more of an effect. The end result is minor. I'd leave it where you are now so that you still have stiffness in them to force the slides down incase something tries to stick a slide open. A good cable that has been lubed properly can go a long way. I got a pressure/vacuum bleeder and forced lube through the cable and some pretty nasty shit came out the other end and it made it much easier. You can rent one from most parts hosues. Buying a new cable will likely benefit you and those DO need to be lubed. I've got one on the way from FAST and will be adding metal tubing around all of the bends and gluing them in place so as to keep any tight spots from forming. I also ordered an extended thumb throttle. Lastly, make sure the components in the thumb throttle housing are clean. Removing the spring there makes a nice difference, but you will find out very quickly if your cable is binding up. That is a mod that I do not recommend.

lil Doobie420 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Someone cut mine too much and now they hang open a lil bit. Get a new cable and a honda thumb throttle.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0chek Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 i bought some springs from jeff at fast a few years ago for my 35's, i thing they might have been call "EZ springs"? those alone with a extended throttle made a night and day difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedder Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I cut the PWK springs on my asphalt bikes to lighten the pressure. Worked great but don't take a full coil each time or you'll trash them real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
