help please

Hi All, I've got a problem with Keeyway Superlight Over Revving... not constant like a sticky cable / throttle / slider etc, the bike is revving up and down by it's self when the throttle or anything else is, isn't being touched? Any ideas? Thanks Mick

I would suggest an air leak is worth checking out.

it's the most likely cause

Is it carb or injection?

The internet has made people lazy. The same was true on a car forum I used to contribute to. You'd help someone fix a problem and then hear no more, not even whether they fixed it or just a thank you.

Except for the guy who contacted me to offer me a job with his breakdown company. One of his chaps had got stuck on a job and contacted me as he noticed I was local. I knew what it was straight away and had adapted a tool to get the offending sensor out. It was a 19mm spanner cut down to fit behind the exhaust manifold which made getting at it very difficult. He'd been struggling for hours. It took me about 5 minutes and the car was going again - much to his relief because he was hugely embarrassed. Next day his boss sent me a pm asking if I wanted a job.

It's rare that people report back with what fixed the problem. Most questions that are asked end up with no conclusion. It would make you wonder if it's worth replying to the questions.

We can only hope some return & reply with the fix or even a thankyou for your replies. The TMBF regulars all do

I always like to stop by and give an update & thanks where necessary. Good manners and it helps anyone else who has similar questions

Personally I think it would be a good idea to not reply to a straight sign up question, is it not in forum rules that you should give an introduction as your first post?

i think it would be good manners to introduce yourself before diving in and posting

It sounds like you expect way too much from the majority of people who sign up here.....

you could be so right

I had a friend who had lots of crappie jobs just a run of bad luck and circumstances.

He was fixing photocopiers and printers business size machines, turned up at some posh office and was greeted by a loud boisterous character who was threatening to return said machine with a tipper.

Fix that thing and I will give you a job, yea he thought usual bla bla, had it sorted in under 30min, apparently multiple previous repairs had failed, not by him, he got a call to go back a week later, was still working fine, what's up he asked, nothing? Why am I back, do you like the sea? Got offered a job on a cable laying ship looking after the office stuff, snapped his hand off and never looked back.
