I followed your instructions about making a new end for my throttle cable and it worked out great. I was able to shorten the cable and it seemed to take care of my idle problem at the same time. While I was playing around with the throttle I noticed how cheesy they are. Do you know of anyone who has a replacement? So far I spend more time working on the bike than riding it which is about what I expected and have replaced the rear sprocket assembly and the chain guard. I've run out of things to buy from Manic Mechanic and need to find other places like them that provide quality replacement parts.
