Hey Peter,

Thanks for the reply! Throttle cables was my first thought, but the cables
move freely, and return home with a audible "snap".  I'll run the bike
without the airbox lid and filter tonight, see if I can't see a slide
sticking.  I'm using the stock Mikuni carbs.

How lean is your horiz cylinder?  My plug is coming back white, and the
horiz cylinder gets noticiably hotter than the vert barrel + head.
