[QUOTE="rfulcher, post: 394465, member: 5085"] I have the middle spring released one turn and have good throttle return to idle. However everything has to be right. Even slight friction prevents quick shout down. Making sure the Vstrom handguards did not touch the throttle grip or tube at all was one of the recent challenges I had to solve. However I have always been able to find and ID the cause of a sticky throttle. The most difficult problem to find has been [U]too much lubricant[/U]. I have found the a [U]very small[/U]amount of white lithium grease works well. More than a very small amount actually causes more stiction. [/QUOTE]
