By the way, Gary sort of mentioned me popping along to your breakfast meets and I wondered if that would be ok?
Only if you buy at least one round of tea

I can second the quality of Al's service. I used him back in November for my S4 on Paivi's recommendation (you getting a cut Paivi?) Excellent service!

BTW Al, I need some advice on a sticking throttle twist grip! Can't get the bloody thing off!

Hi Al, Yes - the throttle twist grip will not move easily. The cable return fine when disconnected from the twist grip.

Check the bar end isn't touching the twistgrip barrel, don't be tempted to lube the inside!
If you've had it apart its very easy to get the cables mis-routed which doesn't allow it to return properly.
I'll give you a call the next time I'm over your way.

Hi Al,

Thanks for the advice. It doesn't seem to be rubbing on the bar end but I did try and remove the bar end ried to remove the bar end and rounded the hex nut with the allen key! So started to drill it out and destroyed 4 drill bits i the process and still have not got it off!
