I have no idea what this does...Anybody?????

[Bumblebee67]

Upon installing a riser block on my '08 GS/RS I have discovered that underneath the throttle box on the right hand side there is a knob that rolls back and forth. I have no earthly idea what this does. Anybody........

Maybe it's your gas pedal??

[AMTJIM]

Mine's fairly exposed, I see the throttle cable pulley up front that actuates a lever off to the right of that...didn't see any knobs.

[Dick Wells]

Are you talking about the little rocker switch on the front of the throttle box?; The one that runs your high beams for illuminating your frunk, when it's open in the dark? Just a thought. I'm probably wrong, as usual.

Ummm.... A throttle lock?

Maybe the previous owner installed it?

[Bob Denman]

Isn't that the adjustment for the Dunstill?

And here all this time I thought it was a remote control module for the hydraulic, LED muffler bearings!

[Bob Denman]

You're probably right Ron... I've got an RT so some of the parts aren't the same!

[ARtraveler]

I thought it was the auxillary gas tank activation knob

Joking aside, if someone figures this out--I am interested.

Joking aside!?!?
I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you you may have come to the wrong forum!

I checked with my Dealer, it's obvious = seatbelt adjuster

Fuel/NOx mixture compensation knob.

No one makes more guesses or is wrong more often than we are, except the weather man!
Now, if we could just make as much money at being wrong as the weather man does we'd be in great shape!

The plastic tie they used to hold the cables together has a ball type end, the end....

[Bumblebee67]

Well...ya'll have been so helpful... All joking aside-the roll knob is built into the bottom of the throttle box. You can roll it forward or backwards. I will try to post pics of the darn thing tommorrow.

I have just one question.... What is a 'Throttle Box'?

[coz]

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

[BajaRon]

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

I take that to mean you don't know what it is either...

I have to say, this is the longest thread to nowhere I've seen in some time. But I'll be back for the next episode!

[Bumblebee67]

How about the thing the cables go into on the right side of the handlebars... that's what im calling a "box"

[sandrunr1]

Is the throttle thingy like box square? I was told all boxes are square. But you people quit teasing her. It is a dimmer knob for the light for when you want to get romantic, Maybe???

I've got an 08 RS. I'm going to check my throttle box in the morning and see what I can find. Funny I've never noticed a knob there but could be I'll learn something. I'm always looking for some romance so I'm hoping Sandrunr1 is right!

[Bumblebee67]

Romance switch huh....cute.. I haven't noticed the one on mine either until I had to take the throttle off of the handlebars to put on my riser... I rolled it a couple of times back and forth but was afraid of the effect it might have in doing so so I quit messing with it. I figured the SL guru"s would know what it is BUT.................
