Ok boys and girls I'm getting tired of twisting the throttle on my 2000 K1200lt.
And somewhere I read a couple of years ago folks were installing newer model cables, I think. This would be to create less friction at the twist grip.
Part numbers or ideas?
Thanks kindly!

I suggest you slide back the throttle grip and clean under it as gunk tends to build up making it difficult to twist. Just make sure that you remove the heated grip cable plug and feed the wires through the bars as you slid it off to clean or you can damage the heated grip. Don't try and pull in those wires and expect it to slide. Ask me how I know.
