Handle bar mod messed up - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Sirius · 11-15-2010, 03:05 PM

Guys, I recently replaced the handle bar of my Honda Dazzler to clip ons since I needed a sporty feel to my drive. Everything is perfect from the position and handling. It is really fun to drive it this way. But the problem is that, since the height of the handle bar is lowered, the clutch cable has become loose and the clutch operation itself has become tight. I lost speed and acceleration is very sluggish.

I myself tried to loosen the clutch and succeeded in doing so. But, still my acceleration is very sluggish and I am suspecting that the clutch is not engaging completely. What could be done to rectify this?

Hey thats a common problem when you change your handle bar.. Try to remove the right hand side switch unit and try adjusting the throttle cable.. I think that should do it...!

Could you plz elaborate? The throttle has become very tight and even though I twist it like mad, I am not able to get my previous acceleration characters. What could be the problem?

Since I don't have the time to take my bike there, I have asked for help here so that I can cure it myself. I will try my best to solve it by myself before the weekend. If I can't, then should do what you said.

I guess you might need to install/shorten an appropriate sized cable....

In the near future, you might also face this issue of clutch plates going kaput...!

Just as I thought. So is it possible to cut and shorten the throttle cable if I don't find an appropriate sized one?

U can cut it and shorten the cable. But make sure you give enough play. Because if it's too tight then your bike will accelerate if u simply turn your handle bar. I think the best option would be to take it to a trusted mechanic and get it done. Whats more pleasurable than to spend some time with your bike. On the brighter side u can watch the mechanic closely on what he does. Maybe u could do it yourself someday...!
