throttle

[katkwak]

seems ive got a sticking throttle will see if i can free it or buy new cable
is this a common problem
also my drivers window as started to act up if i drop it down a little is will only go back up a bit unless i take it all the way down then back up

Both zeds I have owned have always had a stiff accelerator and you can free them up with some WD40 or similar sprayed down the cable. I did this and it started to go stiff again so I replaced the cable which made it better, not perfect but certainly better. The 2.8 I have now has a very stiff accelerator, doesn't stick but is a bit of a pain so I picked up a new cable last week from the dealers which was only £17.54 so not expensive to replace.

It probably needs a new cable by now anyway, made a huge difference on mine but Also check the routing of the throttle cable - it makes a few turns and if it a bit too tight in one place it makes it stiff.

Re drivers window, get some silicon spray and lubricate the rubber slides as you work the window up and down.

As @t-tony and @g8jka have said

Z3 throttles are stiff, new cheap cable will sort
window may be catching so lubricate the runners
