Thought I had a sticking pedal. Loose lock nut on the bottom side of the piston spring housing located below the ignition switch (NH TC25D). The dealers service techs told me to check out three Boomer problems: 1.Stretching/expanding plastic fuel tank causing the plate to which the cruise mag locks onto to get hung up on. Simple fix is to cut down the plate. Grinding a slow option. Bad news would be a damaged fuel tank; 2. Damaged linkage; 3. loose lock nut. No problem with #1 or #2. The lock nut under the upper rubber dust cap was on tight. Pedal moves freely but I still have rearward creeping. After scratching my head for couple days I took a closer 2nd look. Another lock nut on the bottom side of this dampening/positioning shock. A little trial and error to determine the correct length of the shock rod. No more crreep. Now I'm getting paranoid. How many other unexposed nuts are loose. Or maybe I'm the only loose NUT.
