Throttle Body won't budge
Hey, Im trying to replace my Idle adjustment cable on a 03 600rr. I have everything torn down to the throttle body, and all the clamps are loose on the bottom, nothing is connected to it but the throttle cable, and I can't get it to come off. I keep rocking it back and forth and I wont wanna pry on it. I know you guys have torn these down so much there has to be something to do to get it to break loose.

Re: Throttle Body won't budge
the book only stated there was the bottom four clamps that needed to come loose...So, I need to release the top ones as well?
Also being that I have this torn down, being how the fan don't kick on when it's hot. Is there a sensor that needs replaced as well..

No you just need the bottom clamps loosened, I usually rock it back and forth from holding on to the fuel rail. The fan usually kicks on at 225 to 230 there is a thermastat under the body that can be replaced.

Re: Throttle Body won't budge
the fan wouldn't kick on so i wired it to my high been switch so it would kick on manually , im more worried about the high idle speed thats causing my idle to be off. But I have been rocking it back and forth for the past few days and its not getting me any place lol...
I feel like such a squid from this giving me so many problems

Re: Throttle Body won't budge
TB's/carbs are always a bitch to break loose
BE CARFUL not to damage the boots, but you can stick a screw driver down in the boot on each carb in 2-3 spots on the boot, to 'pry it' away from the carb, and break the seal...
It's just like a radiator hose, after being stuck on for years with a hose clamp, the rubber has damn near welded itself to the metal... Gotta break it lose, then it'll pop right off
