1.8 JH swap....bit more power...still sucks

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Here's one more minor thing that could contribute (though marginally) - I
found out the hard way that old, worn throttle cable bushings will
noticeably impact throttle response. I installed a custom urethane bushing
and my JH hit a stage I had not seen before (at least on this particular
ride).
