I picked up a Vista Cruise and was trying to install it last night. No matter how I adjusted it it caused just enough drag on the throttle to make it no longer return when released.
Actually it's always been kinda sloppy and not real quick to snap back to idle.
So what's the drill on cleaning and or adjusting the throttle so it snaps back when released?
A stronger spring! :D
That's what I figured the problem was, wher is the offending spring?
My throttle had a slow return. I had the front tire replaced yesterday and the throttle cables lubricated. Today the throttle returned much faster then before. I know you trimmed the rubber spacers on the Vista Cruise right because if not you can't get it on and if you did it will not turn. :lol:
Actually it's not the "Universal" version but the one for older Honda's with dual throttle cables. No rubber in the way other than the flange on the grip itself.
Can't find the spring listed on either in the carb or controls online fiche pages.
What do you use for lubricant on the throttle cables?
I took it to the stealer-ship yesterday. Working 14 hours a day I did not have time to do it myself. 150.00 for removal, install new K555 tire, balance, nitrogen filled tire and 20.00 to lubricate throttles, clutch, and speedometer cables.
What is the benefit to having nitrogen in the tires?
The pressure is more consistent with temperature swings, less seepage for air loss, and it is dryer. :?:
And it sounds really cool to say you have nitrogen filled tires. 8)
Yes this is a link to a business, but it should answer the question (with pictures) They are really excited to have the nitrogen to use. They also have the option for dyno beads for balancing.

I went to a local MC shop and got some cable lube. It's in a can like WD-40 and had an adapter to direct the flow into the cable. Cost around $10. It was a little messy, but it worked like a charm.
On the throttle lock, I have the same one, and I had to sand off a little on the plastic thumb switch to get it to hold and release right. To get it to release all the way, it's a little on the loose side when it's "locked" and some times have to give it a little twist once locked and then it stays. I don't use it for long periods of time, but it sure is nice to have to give the right hand a break every now and again.

I can't tell for sure either. Maybe one of the link sets or screw set B???
