Will try checking clearance between grip and hand guard. If still cannot then find u adjust throttle. Later I throttle constant WOT then die liao. Thanks!

 

That's why most carbs today come with 2 cables.. one for pulling the slide open and the other to close it... to prevent a stuck throttle situation.

 

But there are some people who intentionally remove or disconnect the return cable on a carb that has the provision for it.

 

Why?? Only the Man upstairs and the owners themselves know.. to me its really suicidal.

I've already sold it many years ago.. it's because of newer emission laws that's why no newer DRZs are produced.   Soon there'll be not much more DRZs in SG..

Ahhh... Now I know. Thanks.. Have been wondering why two cables... Turned out it might have been the grip rubbing the hand guard.

 

Maybe cos the cable made of steel? Removed to save weight!

Hi guys. How do you all lubricate your clutch cable. Mine gets a bit stiff after a while. What are the symptoms that calls for a change?

Life is full of regrets but riding has never been one.

I changed my clutch cable when it got too stiff. When was yours last changed?

The clutch cable is made of braided wires running in a plastic conduit. When the individual wires within the conduits start to break or fray, the broken wires start to rub against the plastic conduit... hence the added friction and resistance.

 

This is when the clutch lever feels very stiff.

I see. I haven't changed mine since the last year of riding it. I guess it's time to change then. What's the rough cost?

Only regret u might have is if u do touring where the s4 will be more comfortable. But everywhere else, this bike is a fantastic bike. Now i thinking of changing bike also dunno want or not. Zzz. This bike is just so nice to ride! More than enough in singapore use.
