111R Sticky Throttle

Post by StiflerMR2 » Thu Oct 06, 2022 10:23 am

Hey all,

my 04 (so cable operated) 111R's throttle is super stiff and sticky. Sitting in traffic it needs a really good shove to move it which often results in me sounding like a right knob as I try and pull away, revs blaring as I have to boot the throttle to get it to move!

It also becomes solid after hitting second cam and releasing for a gear change, again requiring a monster shove to re-engage it.

Has anyone experienced similar? I'm guessing its either the cable itself needing replacing or something is up with the pedal actuation? It does have some form of aftermarket induction on it, which I've read can let through a load of rubbish and gunk up the TB also...

I should point out, I am highly unskilled in all mechanical aspects of motor vehicles :D
