  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Can I lighten the Throttle grip ( Twist)

My son is having trouble twisting the throttle in a long MX race.
Is there an easy way to lighten up the resistance from the spring?
 
If its a fuel injected model just remove the return throttle cable. Much lighter.

Yes, try the G2 throttle tube and cam system. Very good kit and works VERY smoothly......they now have tubes that have a delrin insert which glides ridiculously easy on the bar. :applause:
 
I have done it on a carbied bike when the return cable broke. It took two weeks to get a replacement. I had two long rides without difficulty but believe it is a safety issue to disconnect.
 
I pulled my return cable off the throttle but didnt notice to much improvement. Most of the tension comes from the spring behind the cable cam on the throttle itself. Hmmm wonder if a coil or two were cut from the spring to lighten the pull a little would help? Anyone want to try it and report back? :-)
 
I have George's Uptite throttle tube. It's different in that it's smoother and the bike idles better and there's less felt vibration at the right bar.
 
I have the G2 tube with the delrin insert. I am just looking to ease the pull a little as I get severe arm pump in my right arm only. My old YZ had a much easier pull and hence less arm pump. The parts fische didnt show the spring as a part number, I will call Mikuni see what they say.

Did anyone try the chopping the spring on the CARB slider or find any other solutions here?
