    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.

Well after 2 years of worry free service the old girl is really having it hard. The newest issue is the throttle cable is 1. Hard to move and 2. will not return to closed.

I am thinking after 10+ years those cables need to be changed again. Also since this started she does not want to stay running and the RPM's are all over the place.

Thanks in advance, Aaron
 
There's just one thing the bike needs.
Someone who does a little maintenance.
 
Its well maintained, better than most. I had a problem with the rear master and it was only a year old!?! Still has to build it again! I just love how everyone get on here going maintain your stuff and blah blah blah. I do, regularly. The cables are not original to the bike and seem to be in over all good shape. I am at work and not in a place to look at. I was hoping someone had some feedback. Thanks.
 
I can speak from my knowledge with dirt bikes. This bike is set up quite similar. I would disconnect your throttle cable from the carb and see if it is still difficult to move. A lot of times this is the case and it just means you need a new throttle cable. A lot of aftermarket "cheap" cables wear quickly. They inner cable sort of carves into the side of the outer sheath and makes it hard to move.

Hopefully this helps.

Ok, I got home.scary ride! But the cables are not the whole issue. It seems that the carbs which were rebuilt about two years ago are tight. Very hard to open and close.
