    I would definately lube all my cables... sounds like you just have a hard throttle... All of mine take very little effort to hold in... Start there, you also might have a damaged cable or linkage peice

    Do you have midget finders??That could be a problem too. They sell thumb extensions to make it esier to hold the thumb throttle. But I think the above post is a good start.

    hey, don't use your thumb, squeeze the throttle with your whole hand.
    one cylinder is not enough!!

    I would open the throttle box, and inspect it before I buy anything... your cable might be fine, maybe a nut or plastic bushing is just worn out... something to check, and its free knowledge

    When my thumb craps out my palm backs me up.

    I put the thumber in my palm and lay into it. A thumb extension would also be great.
