Strange thing happened just a while ago. I was riding around in town and all of a sudden my throttle went slack and the bike came to an idle.
After pulling over and investigating I found that the cable had busted at the mechanism. (I recently put a new one on because the original was frayed. Deland Suzuki 10/12 $19.43)
I ended up putting a screwdriver under the mechanism to give me an intermediate idle and limped home using the clutch and brakes.
I just took everything apart and found that the one PULL cable that had snapped off at the motor end was only half the problem. The other cable had also come apart at the end inside the throttle assembly.
There seems to be no obstruction in the mechanism at the motor or throttle assembly. I am baffled... and also hoping I can find someone local that has a couple reasonably priced cables here in Dallas/Fort Worth.
As an add on question. I have found that riding this weekend is out since I cannot find the cables locally. does anyone have experience with the different brands of replacement cables?
The prices are all over the place from $12 on ebay and other vendors....to $20 for Motion Pro brand and to $37 here at a STEALERSHIP.
