    things i find strange any ideas

    When i turn the handle bars either way the throttle changes, is this common among motorcycles? also the left hand grip seems to be higher than the right hand grip. would this be due to the bike going down on the left side? can it really be that easy to bend a handle bar? please tell me what you think

    the throttle cable is too tight - there should be an adjustment on the handlebar so that you can loosen it up that little bit.

    Or someone put too short a throttle cable on it.
    Yes the bars can get bent just dropping the bike.

    I didn't reply to that because that was sort of taken as a given.......
