My throttle cable snapped last nite, does anyone realise how hard it is to drive without one?

Question:
I just drove 4 miles to the garage to get it fixed... and it wasnt even open! Oh how annoying!

Answers:

i have a full motor bike licence do i need to apply for any other documents to start taking driving lessons?

I managed to get home in similar circumstances once by using the choke control to speed the engine up a wee bit but bikes were a bit cruder then and u might not get away with it now. Maybe u could have turned up the tickover speed a wee bit just to get u home - safer than one handed wheelies in the dark. Defininely not the way to live to a ripe old age like 25.

who was the best motocross racer of all time?

Yes I have done it before... it is tough. One hand on the handle bar and one on the carborator... I couldn't use the front brake because my hand was on the throttle. I thought i was going to crash. However they are easy to fix. Make sure to lube your new one so it doesn't happen again.

Are they aload to do it??

Hey, at least it wasn't your clutch while you were stuck in first gear! Throttle cables are pretty common problems.

250cc Engine rattle?

What you should have done is adjusted the throttle stop screw so the engine was reving around 2000rpm, then control the bike/car using clutch and brakes, the distance you drove would have been easy using this method. Hope this helps if you are unlucky enough to have the problem again.

how much of a difference is there in between a 250cc and a 600cc motorcyle?

My '78 Wing has a enricher hooked into the choke. When my throttle cable broke I merely pulled the choke out and it ran about 2-3000 rpm. It still wasn't much fun but safer then using the cable because you have no control over how much throttle you give the bike. If you don't have an enricher you could always adjust the idle up and nurse it home that way.

Any famous Lambretta scooter owners, as far as you know?

Yeah, Modern bikes are bloody awkward, old oes like 1970 BSAs and Triumphs had kill buttons you could push to stop the engine so if you jammed the throttle half open with a pair of mole grips or something you could ride quite easily, the Jap on off switch is too awkward for this, The kill switch was actually for flat out up changes, pull the gear lever firmly up, keep the throttle wide open and prod the button,suddenly the gear lever moves upwards and you are in the next gear. Japs thought it was to stop the engine when you got fed up with it ticking over,

H-D has 2 cables (1 to pull open and 1 to pull closed) when you brake the cable to open the throttle, just switch the cables on the carb (or throttle body) and twist backwards to drive home
