Hey. I have an issue with my motorcycle that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.
I drive an old POS - an 82 Yamaha Maxim 550. Driving along today, moderately accelerating, when all of a sudden I have no throttle. I don't know if a spring went or what, but the actual throttle grip has no tension - it's completely loose and no matter if I open or close it, nothing happens.
Any ideas what this might be?
I just got the carbs cleaned and a general tuneup a few weeks ago. Then it started... I dunno, "lugging" but not really... when I cranked the throttle. Not running smoothly if I accelerate too hard in any gear (but not neutral). Don't know if that helps.
Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
