Now, on the throttle linkage. I also noticed (and like you, dislike!) the slop in the linkage.
I found it was from the top swivel horn. The part you connect your throttle and brake rods to.

Now, you know the small flanged bearing which this horn swivels on? Its held in place with a small screw from underneath the top deck. If you can get hold of the same size bearing (I think it's a 5 x 8 x 3mm) only unflanged. Place this extra bearing ontop of the flanged one. By ontop I mean after you have put the flanged bearing in place, then place this extra bearing on top, then secure them with the screw.
This extra bearing sits nicely in the top deck and secures the hole linkage assembly and keeps it nicely secure. Much less slop!

Try it. Just double check the bearing size from the manual but I'm sure it's 5 x 8 x 3mm.

Best of luck.
