What's that for?
« on: February 17, 2018, 03:42:52 PM »
My '95 Cali has a black threaded, plastic plug with a knurled edge, about 9/16'" diameter, located on the underneath side of the right handlebar control, next to and just forward of the start switch. Finger twist unscrewing removal reveals a small, square hole for I'm not sure what. I find no mention of this in my books. Could it be access to lube the twist throttle? If so, what's the best lube to shoot up in there?

Also, what would be the best way to clean the start switch contacts?

Many thanks.

Could it be a friction lock for the throttle that is missing a couple of parts?

Most likely for a 2nd cable push & pull.

Devildog,
 It's good that you surfaced. I live in Kilmarnock, VA so we are very close. My personal mail: stevekeithrocks@gmail.com. Let's exchange info and go for that ride, especially since the weather seems to be on our side.
