Went outside to put the cover over my bike, hoped on and twisted the throtle and snap, it goes all loose, I can twist it around and around with ease until it reaches a block at either end. Twisting it doesn't not have an effect on the motor or rpm. Who can I call to resolve this tommorow? I am at school all day and I have my restricted liscence test at 2:15 :crybaby: . Is there a shop, dealer, anyone I can ring?

Check on the side of the carb that the linkage moves when you twist the throttle but it sounds like the throttle cable has snapped,call a shop asap and see if either they
1: have a new cable
2: can make you a new inner

If you're mechanically inept you better see if they can fit it for you as well.

Would any shops come to me, because I am mechanically inept.

When it comes to throttle cables I'm assunming it isn't one size fits all?
:mad: Looks like I will have to cancel my liscence.

Maybe if they were on the shore, I've never taken a bike on the motorway before.

Motorway 'aint that great but it's a must.

Might have to skip school tomorrow eh ;)
Ring up the shops at 9am and find one that will be willing to get the cable to you. Otherwise I imagine they will have to come and pick it up and that'll cost you ;)

I thought there was a red baron on the shore...

Motorway'll be fine though if you've been riding a bit. I took my Fixxer out after about two weeks riding, in pretty busy traffic, and had no worries. As long as it isn't really wet... :confused:

Tyres? Is that what they are calling those rim protectors now?

I thought they just put those on to stop the bike getting dents on the rims on the way over from Malaysia to here.....

I'm still using my front stock rim job.... it's serving me well. It's certainly not anywhere near dying after 20,000km.

w3rd!

The stock is fairly good in the dry, just pretty shite in the wet ;)
