I've got a problem with the bike, I'm thinking that I need a throttle damper of some kind?
about a month ago I put a new throttle tube and cables on for the first time in 10 years. I have one of those throttle cams for the softest delivery and then found a throttle tube for $10 that did the same thing!
it only haPPENS ON AN EVEN THROTTLE. but every time I've ridden since the bike is juddering out a morse code through the very lowest engine revs? as i hit even the smallest bumps the engine picks up revs and then goes back, it is just like morse code.
I've spent years developing this jetting and now I have to 'guess that tune' depending on the terrain.
only last week I was ridning in Wales near Dolgellau and I could swear that the bike was playing Vinagaroo by T-rex?
only the week before I thought I could detect 'Low' by coldplay!
I could put up with the stuttering engine but I'm stuck with the bloody tune for the rest of the day!
someone had to help me off the machine on Sunday afternoon as I mumbled out 'mumma ooh a oooh! didn't mean to make you cry!'
can you see the dilemma!
any help about the type of tracks/music I need to focus on would be gratefully received.
you know
grass, 60s acid
sand, beach boys, surf etc
rock - rock n roll (what else! you fools!)
rivers - handel?
you can see my dilemma!
