Throttlemeister problem

[Dodahdude]

I have a 2004 FJR that had an existing Throttlemeister cruise control installed by the original owner. Now after locking at speed the throttle slowly resets itself back to idol when my hand is off. I no not have a manual or ever worked on them before. How do I retighten it?

Check this out as an example:

Basically the fitting out on the bar end has to be set properly so it has the correct friction against that collar under the handgrip when "on" and none when it's "off" It doesn't travel very far, so it can take a couple of tries to get it just right.

If all else fails. Call throttlemeisters. The owner is very helpful and should help you solve any problems. He's a great guy.

On some bikes (not sure about the FJR) the TM is held in position with friction, so the washers don't really come into play. You loosen the screw at the and and reposition the mount and tighten from there. This is how it worked on all the Hondas I had TM's on.

Dude, they have a tendency to vibrate out over time. It happens. Try gently tapping on the bar end inward with a soft mallet or anything that won't mar it and it'll go back into place. It happens to mine every once in a while and it works.

Loosen screw, push in ever so lightly. Tighten screw. try and repeat. Just make sure you don't push in too much.

That's what I do as well! I tap when the lock is in the open position and the tap is very gentle?
