Good day everyone!

I have a trip this Saturday, and I had a go on my bike this morning only to find it's now not running properly at all.

Now, it could be as simple as the throttle cable being unseated (yes I had just fiddled with the tank) - but beyond this, what else could it be?

I can only check the throttle cable this evening when I'm home from work.


*EDIT*

Check my last post - it was EXACTLY as Welsh said. The right hand throttle cable had become unseated. One small correction and she's running beautifully again.
