Alright, I have been fighting with my throttle cables for a few hours and gonna see if someone can help me out....
If I am standing on the right side of the bike (working on the throttle tube/cables) facing straight across to the left handlebar what position should the throttle tube be when I close up the housing? I have done it a few times now and cant get the lengths just right.... I either have to much throttle cable or not enough by the throttle bodies. I have checked in the manual and I have the cables in the right place as far as throttle/return. It doesn't help that I cannot see well in my garage once the sun goes down (lighting sucks) so after I put the wheels back on Saturday I will be able to roll it out in the sunlight.

Also, I remember reading about someone pulling a coolant hose off either one of the radiators or the water pump and just letting the bike run, draining the old out while new coolant is poured in as a way to flush it.... which hose was this?

Thanks guys
