Hi guys, Just joined here (used to be on Ducatisti) and I would like to ask if anyone has managed to get rid of the slack / sloppiness / freeplay (call it what you will) at the end of the throttle on the bar? It's not a massive problem for me, just more of a nuisance as I think it should be nice & smooth like other bikes I have ridden previously. Can you simply fit some sort of bearing at the end of the throttle tube to remove the freeplay or some other type of support? Any advice / recommendations would be greatfully accepted. Regards, Gary
Sorry if I haven't explained myself clearer, the outer end of the throttle grip is not fully in contact with the clip on if you like so I can move it around (hence the slack - maybe a bad way to describe it) and it also moves along the axis of the clip on too, but this is only a slight movement. It has been like this since new and I believed it is the same for all 1098's. The action of the throttle could be shorter to achieve full throttle so my next question would be does the R1 assembly fit closely onto the clip on hence sorting out 2 problems in one?
Thanks for the confirmation Steve, Obviously I didn't do a very good job with my first post confusing people, must try harder next time.:biggrin: Mr C, hopefully the next time I ask a question all will be not lost. Gary
Just been to check and my 1098 does not do that. Somthing not quite right it would seem but can not tell what. Can you not compare with someone elses 1098? Regards Steve
Thanks Steve, I don't know anyone else with a 1098 local to me however I will check with the workshop when the bike is next in for its service. Cheers for taking the trouble to have a look at yours.
No problem mate let us know what thay say. Have you had a look on the members map to see who is in your area? Sure someone would meet up with you. Regards Steve
