January 7, 200818 yr Author May just need to replace the cable with a new one. My friend that was the first thing I did .Have now fitted stronger return spring and zip tied the junction to the frame.helped a lot. All good Drakey

Gday Hoppy No more blipping for you son ,on a four banger now!Yea the cable was kinked out of the box.and when I fitted the new cable was having trouble setting the idle.When turned to full lock it would accelerate,Scary!In the end zipped tied the junction to the frame .Pulled the juction apart and soldered the ends in ,and added a heavier return spring.The throttle is now sick heavy ,the new spring was all I could get ,but I really like it. Other than that its one mad machine.The only greif is putting up with the monkeys who try to tell me its not a real trials bike .Hows your rocket ? you still over the moon ? Later Drakey
January 8, 200818 yr Mine has a little rev on a left hand lock, but nothing to bad. they can take the p***, but they are a very under rated bike. I did a trial on boxing day on mine and on one section the best you could hope for was a 3 because of the hardcore muddy cambers and my scorpa tickled round it for a clean!!!! i didn't see anyone else clean it on that second lap! They rev like a beast, grip like it's got glue on the tyres and is easy to ride!! what more do people want??? I expect someone will chirp up about them being heavier than a 2 stroke, but you only notice that if you get the bike stuck somewhere and have to hump it out!!
