Default throttle tight-case closed

thanks to this awsome forum and the help of lancaster hd. fixed it!!! yaahoo yeha
went back today and spoke to service department. but this time I was more determend. Rick at service took a look and did theuseless adj. and said it was fine. Then I continued in a very nice way to not let it go like that. I reached over to another bike at the shop and twisted the throttle and it was like smooth as silk and made mine seem like sand paper. He then started to look deeper and said they would bring it wright in and fix.What they found was that the cable that surrounds thecablewire has a metal lining and that metal lining was fraid. After only 15 minutes they had fixed/replaced cable.They said they dont know what caused it. Also it took a double look for them to spot with it apart cause when they took wire out of cable, wire slid right out and was fine. It is so smooth I accidently poped a wheely after thanking them an heading out of parking lot. No charge for this and they offered to wash bike.
