lol, bloody hell, looks like your a bit pissed on that pic...
is it true!!??!!


Nice bike there, nice to see your upgrading


oh and theres 2 screws that hold the plastic bit for the throttle.
(by your kill switch and lights)
one at the front, and the other is round by the brake lever.

take them out and the kill switch and that will lift off.

You can then see where the cable goes in a locks onto the throttle.
try putting some Grease in there to lube it up nicely. check that it hasnt frayed or anything...
otherwise you'll end up like me the other day with a snapped cable

and your be leaning over the bike actually pulling the cable to make the bike go.

its such a git on tick over. its a slow walking speed!!
and i cant be arsed with walking!!

Hi

Not sure about the cable. If it is one with a nylon liner then do not use oil in it (the nylon expands in reaction with the oil, and makes the cable bind), use a lubricant for these cables (graphite?)

If it is a normal cable then you can oil them easily. If you can get down then we can use the cable oiler. Works well but takes a while and makes a mess (you take the cable off, clamp it into the oiler, fill it with oil and then it pushes the oil through hydraulically

Hope you both had a good holiday

All the best

Keith
