Gap in throttle housing is driving me crazy!

[x(why)z_imp]

Something I'm wondering is if the bar is slightly smaller in diameter. Everything went together as normal otherwise, but perhaps there is something a bit odd. I went and check again now, and indeed, there are no misalignments or oddities in seating. It simply won't close properly.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to likely replace the assembly.

Try taking it off the handlebars and fitting it together without the throttle tube inside, to get a feel for how it is supposed to go together. I suspect that the throttle tube is out of position to the left. Try positioning it more to the right, i.e. make the space between the white cable cam and the black housing smaller. You will end up with more gap between the outside of the black housing and the inside flare of the grip.

Ah! You maybe be right!!! This could be the ticket. I'll check in the morning and post up the results. This looks promising.

THANK YOU!
