Title: Removing throttle assembly from clip-on
Post by: the_Journeyman on September 24, 2010, 02:47:10 PM

I've started removing the clip-ons on my M750 to put taller bars back on. However, I can't figure what I'm doing wrong when removing the throttle assembly or throttle tube from the right clip-on.

Everything else is loose, even the back half of the throttle assembly is off. It won't budge.

Here's where I have gotten to

I can't find anything else to loosen.

How does this come off?

Thanks!

It kinda just gets pressed on from being tightened down to the bar. Use the plastic end of a screwdriver and tap the other end with a hammer. Should come loose with a couple taps then just slide the tube right off.

Thanks! That worked great! I was afraid to impact it before I knew I had gotten everything loose ~

Yeah, no problem. [thumbsup]

Same thing happened to me a while back when I switched as well.
