Bike setup

I had a issue with my idle and tinkered with the carb and discovered the throttle cable was bent and sticky. I never noticed it until my buddy said his thottle is much smoother and snaps back quicker. So a brother Hoon hooked me up with a 99 throttle assembly. I lubed it and installed it, and what a difference it made. My throttle responce is spot on now and the snap is definetly stronger and smoother. I was amazed how something like that assembly could make such a big difference in how the bike rides, and reacts to input. At the Az ride a pro rider gave tips on setup which included lever placement, peg position,handle bar position, shifter placement and tightness of controls. All these little details are often overlooked, and can make a good bike into a really good bike.
