Thumb Throttle adjustment!

[NeVe]

I have just bought another blaster, and the thumb throttle on the one I have just bought seems quite stiff and causes my thumb to ache after 5 minutes of riding. The throttle is a lot tougher than the throttle on my old blaster which did not cause me any problems. I was just wandering if any body known how i can loosen up the thumb throttle, if i can adjust it in any way?

Thanks Guys

is it a stock bike/carb? some bigger carbs make the throttle alot tougher on your thumb but i've never had this problem with a stock carb. to solve this problem with my bigger carbs i took the top off the carb removed the spring and trimmed the spring a little bit each time untill it was easier on my thumb but still did its job.

could be that the cable needs to be replaced. It could be binding from rust, but still move just enough to allow the slide to return.

idk mine got alot stiffer when i put the 33 pwk carb on even with a new cable

pop off the throttle cover and lube it up. I would suspect the cable, so lube that as well while your'e at it. YOu may need to replace the cable. Also, the carb slide could be dirty and binding in the carb....
