The Pioneer Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) My throttle tube has about 4-5mm of movement left and right and I was wondering if this is normal on a bike. Is that too much movement or should there be none at all? The throttle tube was replaced with an r6 throttle tube.

ElGonzales Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Yes, theres a little axial movement (MT-07 throttle tube). Haven't measured it, aprox. 2mm on my bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted May 11, 2019 Global Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2019 Mine has always done this, probably about 1/8 of an inch (I am not sure how many mm that is). I notice it every now and then, but mostly I forget it does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidmetal Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Mine has it as well. Don't really think about it, it doesn't bother me. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Both of ours have it. Mine has the R6 throttle tube, my wife's is stock, both about the same. Never really noticed it, had to go out to the garage to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverriver Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 you want a little bit of movement but not a lot. You can adjust the tension of the throttle cable to reduce the movement at the throttle tube with two 8mm wrenches, or adjust at the throttle body. I try to get around 2mm of movement, but its up to personal preference honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pioneer Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks, from your responses it seems to be a normal thing. After riding my bike a lot more I have gotten used to it aswell and barely even notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
