[QUOTE="Goldmember, post: 1145028, member: 9840"] On the way home from work I noticed that the throttle took more effort to press down than it usually does. I have done the "hair trigger throttle mod." (took the slack out of the cable) When pushing the pedal, it felt like something was sticking or binding. I haven't heard of throttle cables binding, but anything that moves can wear, so maybe it is possible. I'm going to take the hair-trigger mod out (just a few zipties). Is there a way to adjust the throttle cable at the throttle body instead? Anddd is there a way to lubricate the cable? Probably really hard to get any lube in the cable's sheath. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
