Thats gonna be a whole new throttle cable you need. Can be a bit tricky to fit and set up properly, so take your time or get help.

from memory thats the return cable, but maybe someone else can check their manual/bike to confirm.
Prices- sorry dunno, shouldn't break the bank tho.

why is it that SUZUKI are bloody expensive for most things but then they surprise you on others? OE crash mushrooms £90+ then OE seat cowel for a pointy £40 some odd, then £20 for a tank protector?< sticky plastic!

Hi Quiff! :D

Change them both if finances allow. Cables aren't too much. As a guess I'd say you're looking at £12 to £15 each so it won't break the bank. :wink: While you're at it, get the carbs' balanced. :D

Hello Quiff
From memory I think a pair of cables are nearly at the £50 mark :(
They are a little tricky to fit properly, it's an airbox off job! But as another member suggested one can balance the carbs at the same time.
I'll find out how much they are tomorrow, and let you know.
It should be ok to ride your bike, just don't use more than a little throttle, as you may find it sticks open if you use more!! :shock:

Cheers

P.S. I offer members 10% off genuine spares prices! (yeah I know, subtle as a poke in the gob) :D :D :D

Quiff Wichard 14-08-05 12:19 PM

look fedto findng out how much its gonna cost me then spanner man
