Make sure the bar end isn't too tight as this can stop it from freely moving. Also check if you left any burrs on the cut part that might interfere too. Lube your cables too.
problem after cutting my throttle tube

Eager to give advice that may not be correct all the time.
yup, new riders love going on rides with him, right into guard rails.
Your throttle is kinda important. How'd the crack get there? If it just formed from use, you can be sure it'll grow! I would order a new throttle tube if I was in your shoes.

It's up to you then man. If you think it'll be an issue, replace it. If you don't think it'll get worse and it doesn't grab causing the grip to turn "sticky" then I wouldn't worry about it.no i pushed a small flat head between the tube and the handle bar to see if anything was jammed and cracked it
-Jamie M.
Agreed.

If you're going to continue to use it, then at least drill a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it from spreading.
Ahhhh, "stop drilling", nice. Saw that on Mayday once, didn't stop the crack from spreading and the entire wing from detaching (had a major structural problem, cracked Z stringer, stop drilling couldn't have fixed it)
Didn't know it was for plastic, just thought it was for metal

I had the similar issue with my throttle tube on my dirt bike last year, In your case it's most likely that you either warped it the slighest or a small amount of debris has gotten stuck inside. Try spaying WD-40 or chain lube, could solve the issue.
I think it would be safer for everyone if you sell your bike.
How lazy and ignorant can one be? You F'd up your throttle and are told several times to take it apart and then you say there is a crack, yet WTF. By all means plow yourself into a ditch with this stupidity but you are likely to take out an innocent person.
Seriously, with this mindset you do not belong on a bike.

cool i am taking it off and cleaning it this week before i ride.
I will love to hear the explanation as well.
I did mine because I was changing to 1/5 turn throttle but I don't see any other reason to even touch it unless is to adjust it... never cut
: popcorn:
Maybe you are right but then again maybe you are once again WRONG. I did read everything.
Clearly you can see the responses below are questioning your logic and repair skills as well as your basic ability of following directions.
But since it makes you feel better calling me a moron, then go right ahead old sport as it is better than you in a ditch or worse injuring innocent people.
Now don't be a moron like me and answer the questions.
Why were you cutting the tube?
+1 on this
Patient too. I think people are just ****** that he had a lot of guns (he is the guy that had a grenade launcher right? lol)
