Why Can't the Motorcycle Throttle Be Lifted?
2 Answers
There are three main reasons why a motorcycle throttle cannot be lifted: 1. Ignition issues (check spark plugs, ignition coils, igniters, pulse coils, and other electronic components). 2. Fuel system blockage (inspect the fuel line from the tank to the carburetor for obstructions, clean the carburetor, and clean the air filter). 3. Engine problems (check if the cylinder compression ratio meets standards and ensure the valve timing is correct). Motorcycle maintenance tips: Break-in period: The break-in period is crucial for a motorcycle. The first 1,500 kilometers are particularly important. During this phase, avoid full-load usage and maintain a steady speed to extend the motorcycle's lifespan. Preheating: Always preheat the motorcycle before riding. In summer, preheat for about two minutes; in winter, preheat for at least three minutes to protect the components. Cleaning: Since many motorcycle parts are exposed, clean the bike at least twice a week to prevent dust buildup and improve efficiency. Lubrication: Change the oil after the first 300 kilometers, then at 800 kilometers, and again at 1,500 kilometers. After these three initial changes, replace the oil every 1,000 kilometers. Starting procedure: Before starting the motorcycle daily, press the kickstarter a few times without turning on the ignition. This helps the cylinder draw in more combustible mixture. Then turn the key to the ignition position and start the engine—this practice benefits the motorcycle.
I've been riding motorcycles for many years and often encounter the issue of the throttle not lifting properly. The most common problems are the throttle cable rusting or getting stuck in the conduit due to insufficient lubrication; if the carburetor is clogged, the fuel path is blocked, leading to slow throttle response; or if the air filter is too dirty, the engine can't draw in enough air, resulting in weak power. Other issues include aging spark plugs failing to ignite or the fuel pump not supplying enough fuel. Last time I repaired my bike, I found the cable was broken, and replacing it fixed the problem. Now, during quarterly maintenance, I always have the mechanic check the lubrication. If you face this issue, try pulling the throttle cable and adding some lubricant first; if that doesn't work, pull over and don't force it—head to a repair shop immediately to avoid breaking down and causing accidents on the road.
