Some types of Maintenance is BAD !! $$$$$$

[Horse]

Why I here you say The other day I thought I'd put a nice set of soft, vibration absorbing hand grips on I had . WRONG. Don't do this mod If you are not Uni. trained or a bike Tech.  I've only been riding & fixing for 40 odd years so what would I know right !!!!! Apparently if you grab the throttle & try to twist the old grip off in a forward , clockwise manner you might hear a little click  But don't worry the sloppiness now in your throttle action from snapping your push cable can be fixed by forkin out $155 +gst to your local money grabbers ( did I mention there is NO stock of cables in OZ) & there probably never will be because they recon they don't BREAK !!! Sir, just give me your credit card details & all will be fixed up in 3-4 weeks time!!!!!! SOMEONE PICKED A VERY BAD TIME FOR ME TO GIVE UP SMOKEING !!!!     Please, if someone has a push cable for a 94, I'll let you video the grovel     Horse..........

Thanks old mate, I did give the man a call, his name is Mark & he wrecks FJ's & FJR's, primarily for the engines I think , for Legend cars  . Anyway he had a full cable set from an FJR (injected) & tryed it on the FJ carbs & low & behold  it all seems to like each other      So it's in the mail & i'll let yoos know how it goes ......1/3 the cost of new, if it's good I'll bloody use it for sure ..  CHEERS for the heads up on Mark ........   HORSE

Wicked, thought they  (popcorn)should have, I've bought half my bike from those guys  , great to deal with and low prices usually

Horse, there is a mob in BNE that makes cables..... all sorts of cables. I can't remember what they are called right now but I will find them and post up when I do (the name of the company is something to do with marine cables).
Just have to go to them with your old cable and they will duplicate it.

Pull's enough, really.  Both ain't bad to have though.

If nothing else, then you can swap crap around if you snap one on the road
