so i've never changed the oil in the differential in my 250sx since I got it a couple years ago so seeing as though I have a new shaft boot ordered up I figured I'd get on that. I've only ever taken it in the trails once with it's ripped boot when I first got it. It's mainly to use around the house with a trailer on it for yard work. Anyway I've uploaded some pics of what the oil looked like in that. Second I've been sitting on a new throttle cable so I figured hey I might as well put that on. What a nightmare. Not only did I snap another screw on the top cover of the throttle leaving 1 of 3 intact but a screw snapped off that holds the bracket onto the handlebars. Awesome what else could go wrong?!?! Well the throttle cable adjustment is frozen solid into the housing so I was using pb blaster and a torch and slowly working it back and forth and making slow progress at backing it out. Now I had a pair of vice grips on the adjuster and one on the throttle assembly case for leverage as it was off the bike. I tried doing it on the bike but since 1 screw was broken it wasn't staying it was just moving back on forth on the handle bars. So while I'm working this adjustment screw back and forth the casing snaps a huge chunk out. Whole thing is junk now with 3 snapped off screws in it and a chunk taken out so now I need to buy a throttle assembly all because I was trying to do a little maintenance.
