Stiff throttle cable

[Studman]

Got an 06 Tige 20v. Last 2 times out the throttle has been intermittently stiff. Anyway to lube the cable? Any other ideas why? Or is replacing the cable the only way.

Check behind the control box and on the engine. Make sure that there isn't anything causing it to bind.

^^^ and transmission, 340 MP may not have throttle cable, but will still have shift cable.

I had the opposite problem. My cable was too loose and I would have to keep my hand on the throttle all the time or it would back off. I put a cable clamp on it to create some friction, so as Chpthrl said, you may have a bind somewhere.

I think I understand the question?
Who were you with? any pics?

Usually lube won't help a cable. I'd look for some other cause. :02:
