Why does my motorcycle go back to idle when I let go?
If there is one, adjust it to ensure your throttle has all the space it needs to twist back and forth without any obstruction. If you have a carburetor, there is a spring that is pulled on it when the throttle is twisted. This is used to spring back the throttle into the idle position when it is let go or released.
Why does my motorcycle keep coming to a stop?
Sometimes there is a stop switch or a set screw somewhere on the right hand throttle. This is designed to keep the throttle in place. Occasionally that screw will become out of place and won’t let your throttle release all the way so your motorcycle will constantly be throttled a little bit.

Why does the throttle stick on my motorcycle?
A motorcycle idles high when it is getting too much of an air and fuel mixture in a low speed or neutral position. This is usually caused by the idle screw on the carburetor being out of adjustment, an out of place throttle handle screw, a bad carburetor throttle spring, or a sticky throttle or throttle cable.

How is the idle level on a motorcycle set?
Setting the idle level. On the older motorcycles where a carburettor is mixing air and fuel, the idle level is set by a simple stop screv that prevents the throttle valves from closing completely, and you can simply turn this screw in or out to adjust the idle level.

Why is my throttle cable going bad on my bike?
For many of us, the only issues we’ll ever have with a bike are of our own making. Up until very recently, most bikes have had at least two cables that can go bad and cause headaches: the throttle, and clutch cables. The throttle cable normally lets you know it’s going bad by refusing to snap back the throttle grip when it is turned and released.
