Hi all, newbie here.
After a 20 year hiatus, I'm back motorcycling.
I originally went to the Kawi dealer to look at a 250cc dual purpose I could use to commute to work with but I saw this used K75 standing there and it was too beautiful to resist, so I took it home.
I have some questions about the new to me bike ('87), and I'll be here asking away, but one item concerns me right now. So here goes.
The throttle on my bike does not return to idle after I wind up some gas. It will just sit where I leave it like a cruise control (in the garage; on the road, a bump will cause it to return). I have to twist it back. There is no tension screw in the lever mechanism. I can look in the threaded hole and watch the metal part of the twist grip move. I took apart the throttle control at the lever and put some new grease on the little chain and gear teeth. Down at the throttle bodies, there is plenty of spring tension. If I manually raise the throttle down there, the TBs will snap closed.
So my question is, is this normal or should the twist grip return under its own power?
I did a search and came up with nothing.
TIA,
Eric
