Hi guys-

Just replaced my rear drive seals after a massive gear oil leak. Seems
that
the installer (A Winchester, VA concern) sold the guy I bought my ambo
from
a bill of goods when they rebuilt his destroyed U-joint. The "new" gear
they
put in was used, and to top it off, they boogered it (scored)up when
they
put it in. The seal held for a while, then failed. There is a lesson
here
somewhere...

For a newbie-what's your favorite method for lubricating throttle
cables????
My palm has calluses and I've developed a big right forearm.... I drove
my
friend's new Jackal lasst night and I almost did a wheelie when I
accidently
goosed the free-turning throttle...

Many thanks,

Noel McCormack

I agree 1 Tomaselli + flip chokes = 7 less headaches

I've seen several problems with old 2 into 1 cable set ups on Loops. All
cured by retro fitting twin cable Tomaselli units as fitted to 70/80's
Guzzis.

Easier to set up and if either cable snaps you still get home. Prudent
riders only need carry 1 spare too.

Anybody else have problems with the cable ball end popping out of

John:
The normal tension of the throttle shouldn't be enough to pop that
ball out continuously. As others have mentioned, it might be a

throttle

cable going bad. However before you go out and buy new cables, check

the

cable splitter attached to the frame rail under the tank. If this is
gummed up it could be the source of the problem, and a good lube might
be a cheap fix.
