Well yesterday now.
Noticed a real flat spot on my thou while on a ride out last week, and there has been a rattle from the bike which I traced back to the exup. So, got back and attempted a 'service' on the exup (great link on Pats page). The lower cable had snapped
So, ordered the replacement slinky from Wemoto. Arrived the next day, brilliant service. So, yesterday was spent attempting to change the cables. The more I looked at what had to be done, the more I got a bit worried. I have very few mechanical skills.
Anyway, searched everywhere for a 'guide' but just had to go for it :eek [size=78%]eeeekk!!![/size]
Just over an hour later, the new cables were all linked up and time for a test ride. Smooth acceleration all the way through the rev range, no rattle. Bloody amazed, but I think I managed it!!!! Well chuffed with myself (and my lad whose slightly smaller hands were a god send linking up the cables to the servo)
I think I'll leave it for a few rides now, then get back into the exup and check that the cables etc are all ok. I'm assuming that if I hadn't linked them up correctly that I'd really feel it while on a ride?
