Last time out the FZ1 just didn’t want to slow down…more than usual that is!
So, chased the lazy throttle back to a busted return throttle cable.
Luckily, had a pair of spair throttle cables and after many curses, that throttle cam isn’t in the most convenient of spaces and the throttle cable retainers may as well be invisible, it’s done!
That’s the 2nd time this year the throttle cable has given me trouble. Hope the new cables make it the last.

The -06 Over Racing FZ1 that won its class at the 06 Suzuka 8 hour is being retired and the parts have come up in local auction.

Ridden by Makoto Suzuki and Hiroshi Toyoda, and running in the XF1 Formula Extreme class against R1s, Fireblades, etc.
