do factory riders use the return throttle cable?
The Shop
Theres a few advantages to not usinng the return cable, alot crispier throttle response on and off, smoother which gives less arm pump. why wouldn't a factory rider want that? I think the only way a throttle can get stuck when not running the return is from lack of maintenance, with factory guys thats on a concern.

I've wanted to leave my return cable disconnected, but fear a safety issue. I've read numerous times it's not a problem, but haven't taken the chance. There's no doubt there's a difference and especially with riders who suffer from arm-pump.
My throttle, without the return cable, "snaps" back, With the cable, not even close. Nothing wrong with the cables...
How many here run only 1 cable? Please post?
I just want to hear of a person, who's tried the single cable and HAD a problem...

I tried this on my 350 tonight and there was absolutely no difference in ease of opening or difference in "snapping" shut.
Route your throttle cables and lube them correctly, running one cable is pointless.
I would also like to see real world proof of intake flow holding the throttle plate open, sounds like some solid vital theory to me.
