Had noticed a decrease in power. Motor was just weak and not the go it had had. Pulled cover, airbox top and air filter. Noticed when I twisted the throttle there was almost no movement of the butterflies, and throttle wouldn't move much either. Pulled airbox bottom and all moved freely. Put it all back together. Took it out for a ride yesterday and what a difference. Now it just leaps and wants to fly down the road again. Somehow the rubber gasket between the airbox and throttle bodies must have shifted to obstruct movement.

It was the rubber hose that comes into the airbox rubbing on the linkage I bet. Same happened to me.
