R6 Throttle - Coldstart issue?

[Bibio]

your using more force closing the throttle when riding the bike than you would with it sitting stationary. loosen off the 'close' cable a tad more and adjust the tickover accordingly.

whats happening is exactly the problem i had apart from the low revs. when you close the throttle the new tube is not the correct shape to hit the stops inside the housing its close but not enough. when you ride the bike you use more force so where the new throttle tube would otherwise 'just' rest on the stop it continues on past.

to test this when the bike is sitting stationary try forcing the throttle forward, i bet it 'clicks'.

I'd be almost certain that your cold idle speed is not adjusted correctly. What is the rpm when you start the bike from cold at what is the approx ambient temperature at this time?

See this thread here where I found the whole TB to be setup incorrectly on mine, I also listed the expected RPM's at cold idle temperatures..

i don't get any appreciable click when i'm forcing the throttle forward.

its got a lot better since i re-adjusted everything, but its probably still needs a bit of fine tuning, issue is i have run out of adjustment at the grip end of the cable, and i don't want to be messing around at the other end too much for fear of messing everything up!

well your not going to solve it unless you can get more slack in the cable which means you will have to loosen off the throttlebody end.
