sticky throttle

[Bixxer Bob]

No, go to the sticky at the top of the Girly section and look in the "how to" near the bottom, use the firstone, the second is how the dealer should set up a new bike before selling it.

Any motor accessory shop should sell the hose, especially the sort that sell kids bling for the Fiestas. Or if you can wait a day or two, take your pick, you can even get it to match your bike:

the tiger is going in a local bike garage mike hose m /cycles going to get throttle body s balanced and new tubes on the ivac probably be worth getting the air filter done at the same time hopefully this will sort out tick over problems i found the throttle sloppy so considering adding a extra spring just to firm things up any one else ever tried this

It's tough reading when folks have to use a dealer to fix stuff that isn't that hard when you are lucky enough to know how. I hope he does a good job and doesn't do too much damage to your wallet.

I heard yesterday that our local now charges £100 per hour.  I'm not as quick as him, but I'm no-where near as dear

Completely agree. The trouble with these Tigers is that it takes an hour just to get into what you're adjusting. And another hour putting it back together. So that's ££2££hours££labour without actually doing any real work.

Now, as for adding another spring. No, it doesn't need it IF everything is lubricated "like wot I did". The throttle is fairly heavy anyway so I wouldn't want to add anything to that.
You said it felt "sloppy". Perhaps you have too much free play in it??????

i ve been quoted £100/120.00 for throttle body balancing new ivac tube s and new air filter to be honest if i had more time and more importantly some were warm and dry to do it i would give it ago ive rebuilt engines changed bearing etc in the past but i was young and single then with all the time in the world so i  will start with the simple stuff and work up haha

You can't balance the throttles with TuneEcu on these Tigers. You need vacuum gauges.

Which are £57. I recommend spending the extra few quid for the pouch too http://www.carbtune.com/

You only pay once and have them forever.

Just to sum up:

TuneECU - free
TuneECU cable - about a tenner
IACV tubing - less than a tenner
Carbtune - £64 plus post
