    I have a Honda VFR 800 with a throttlemister on it. I tipped the bike over today on the right side. the luggage absorbed most of the shock but now the throttle is sticking even when i twist the throttle mister to the full release position. The throttle lock was installed by the previous owner and i do not have the install instructions. Any Advice on how to fix this?

    You need to pull the internal portion of the throttle meister out further. Due to the impact, you smashed the entire mechanism further into the clip-on. Regardless of whether or not you have the throttle meister open or not it'll rub against the throttle tube.

    Best way to do it would be to loosen the bolt holding the throttlemeister (bar end) until there is enough play so you can grab the bar end and pull it out further.

    I made a quick diagram below:

    That did it

    Thanks for the quick reply. I was able to readjust the throttle lock when i went home so the only thing wrong now is some scratches on my luggage and my wounded pride.
