Throttle Spring removal

[Snookerman]

Hi Folks,

I'm fairly sure someone has done this before and helped others with the same problem, but I couldn't find anything by doing a "search". I want to remove the center throttle spring on my '07, but after I got the tank lifted up, here is this nice silver heat shield covering everything. Do I have to remove the tank completely and go from there, or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes pull the tank then take off the heat shield and fuel rail.

You'll love it; they should all come from the factory that way. You'll be surprised when you unhook the spring; it'll just unwind and hook again in a split second. You'll wonder if it even happened.

Not really a removal as much as an "undo one winding".

Scroll down the page to "photos of how to get under the tank", posted by Rickstar. It gives you complete details about how to get to and unwind the throttle return spring ONE TURN ONLY. Do not unwind more than one turn. It's not hard to do. He originally posted this on March 23 2007.

Good luck.
