Hey all,

I've had a sticky throttle for a while, and after taking the throttle grip apart, lubing cables, etc etc, it seems like the culprit is probably the butterfly valve inside the the throttle body. We tried slightly loosening and attempting to recenter the butterfly to make sure it's not hitting the sides of the throttle body, and it seemed like we'd improved/fixed the problem in the garage, but on my test ride the thing stuck really tight at nearly wide-open throttle and sent me rocketing at 70mph through my neighborhood, forcing me to hit the kill switch (and crap my pants).

Soooo...

Anybody ever replace one of these? Does the entire throttle body have to be removed? Do you just replace the butterfly, or do you buy a whole new throttle body unit? Any advice, suggestions, prayers...?
