Known issues on the 1995 FT900. The federal record for this model year holds one recall, covering a hand throttle cable that can wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it runs. No complaints from owners appear in the NHTSA record. That single fault sits in the throttle and governor linkage of the 8.3L inline-six, which makes the engine speed control procedures, linkage adjustments and related torque values the most relevant pages for anyone chasing a sticking or wandering throttle.
THE HAND THROTTLE CABLE CAN WEAR THE BRASS SWIVEL BLOCK ON THE GOVERNOR LEVER THROUGH WHICH IT PASSES.
