Default So I adjusted my throttle cable...

so when I bought my 04 RR this year, the throttle cable was in need of some tightening. It had a bit of twist before it actually pulled the cable...
While things were slow at work today I adjusted that and my clutch lever.
HOLY ****.
I guess that space that I twisted it before it engaged was lost at full open. Now I have it. Its like a whole new bike.
100 yard accidental power wheelie from a red light. Awesome...

sweet. Some of those little maintenance items really do pay off.

I used to like it a little on the loose side until I start riding my friends brand new bikes (Which has an insanely tight throttle)

I wish mine would chill the f**k out. I barely even look at the throttle and it wants to rev. Methinks it's maybe adjusted a little too tight..........I'll have to check that.
