Hey,
Im looking at a kawasaki zx-6 and the only problem seems to be that the throttle doesnt feel very well lubed. On acceleration and when you release it to idle.. It will go all the way back, just not as quick as it should. I know it could be a few things, like cable routing, and bent handlebars ( bike looks excellent and shows NO signs of ever being down.) Does the throttle itself or the cable ever need lubing?
And also.. kinda not on the same topic, but is 30k generally the mileage that the clutches go out? And how hard would it be to DIY? I am pretty knowledgable on cars... swapping engines, but this will be the first bike I will mess with, so Just wanted to know your opinions.
