    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

something weird just happened.

Hello, I have a 1082 gs 550 and while I was riding home lastnight and my throtle got stuck. I inspected it and everything looks ok. the throtle position on the carbs is all the way down like it should be and theres no tension on the cable. choke is off too. I cant figure out what it is can somone please help?
 
If the cable connection at the carbs is OK, then I would check the cable connection at the throttle tube end. Make sure the cable isn't kinked either...
 
Not sure i am quite getting what happened, like Mike said check the throttle cable connection at the handlebar. The plastic sleeve might be broken.
 
everything looked fine so last night i pulled the carbs off. somehow a peice of string got into the #3 carb and wraped arounf the choke plate causing it to stay open.

since i have them off now im going to take them apart and clean them =)

Interesting! :eek:
It goes to show that anything can and will happen.

I've had the cables splinter apart and causes the throttle to get stuck.
(because the individual wire strands are catching on things)
