Broken throttle cable
My throttle cable snapped off. It has a push and pull side. It is the cable that closes the throttle. Does anyone know if it is the push or pull? In my previous posts my bike was not working but now it is and I am happy. I took it for a ride around the parking lot then it started raining so it's back to the carport.

Don't ride it like that... it is fully possible to get the broken cable jammed inside the grip housing in the "open" direction...
you can operate with just the "pull" cable... older bikes used to have just one and spring return to idle... but the best and correct way is to replace the broken cable. Either RonAyers.com or you can look for a set on Ebay... I can't say it enough, running it like this is dangerous, don't do it, you can hurt yourself, or worse, hurt someone else. oh sorry, that is the "return to idle" cable, pulls the throttle closed when you roll the grip forward. |

Yep. Broken cable is no no. Better to cut it off and just work with pull cable.
This is not the safest thing to do I guess but I cut my "push" cable off on my R6 a while ago. No matter how I route it, push cable makes the throttle not snap back to off throttle position fast enough. With just the pull cable it works perfectly so I've been riding like that for some time now. |

This is the part I bought. The open cable is intact. The closing one is not.
The one I bought. From ebay, not partzilla. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detai...4012-0080.html

each cable pulls, (you can't push a cable, well not very well) when you twist open... the "open" cable pulls the throttle butterflies open. when you twist closed... there is a "close" cable that pulls the butterflies closed. mind you there is a big spring that closes the butterflies, but manufactures added the "close" cable in case something happened to that spring or something got sticky... a full on cable to pull things closed if something went sideways... this is why your bike "operates normally" with just one cable, pull open, spring closed. It looks like your end fitting has come off, in my cheap days, I would fix them myself... I would get a lead fishing weight and pinch it on the cable with vice grips and then pound it into a small copper tube with a cut out for the cable... totally cheap but I had the tools and could make it work for another year. Farmer boy fixes to keep the **** running. |

It closes fine. It`s an 04 ninja. Just that I am selling it and I would not feel right selling it to another person in that condition.

I have replaced the cable a while back, just barely updating it here.
