    Throttle cable snapped!

    Yep,on the way to work and 'ping', this might explain why the throttle has been so stiff of late.It snapped in the middle somewhere and was covered in crud and rust.
    Only a 50 minute wait for captain AA to turn up and take me and the bike back home,

    Now i have the tank off i am going to balance the throttles and give it a good service

    Nearly £30 for a genuine throttle cable!...bejesus!..better be gold plated
