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.

Just use WD40 on all the carb linkages and remove the cable from the throttle and sray WD40 dowm the cable and move the cable by hand back and forth to free them up.
Best of luck! Archie

Re: Sticky throttle
Disconnect the throttle cable from the carb linkage. Then, when pulling on the loose end of the cable, rotate the throttle grip. If you feel the cable binding, you will need to remove it and flush it out. Then lightly oil it and reinstall. If twisting the throttle does easily pull you fingers when checking throttle grip smoothness, then it is not a problem with the grip or cable, it is more likely the linkage on your carbs needs cleaning and oiling. Also, check the throtttle return spring on the carb linkage to be sure no one has deformed or installed it incorrectly.

Guys, what makes some people think that cables last forever? Chances are that cable is 22 years old. I would replace it if I were you. Go to your Suzuki dealer and order one; it's possible MotionPro still has them.
Get a fresh start. I would.
