    So I took off the throttle cables because they were sticking and found that there was crap under the throttle. I lubed up the cable and put everything back together and it works great. My only question is I don't think that the cables are run right. I can't remember the way that they came out. Hind sight being 20/20, I should have taken a picture of how the cables were run prior to removing, and will do that in the future. But for now, I'm questioning how to run the cables. Any 3rd gen's out there that can give me some advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Right now, the cables are running as follows (pictures enclosed). They go from the throttle, to the right of the right fork (about 2 o'clock), across the front of the forks, down the right side of the left fork (about 5 o'clock) to the carbs. It just doesn't look right. It seems like there is alot of slack when the handlebars are moved to the left. Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Adam.
