What's scary about a broken cable?

I don't get it.

well I was certainly disturbed, I'm not exactly an experienced rider.

Anyhow, what sort of expense is this likely to be?

I don't have a clue

The cables aren't expensive from Suzuki, if you're doing it y'self it's a cheap job.

You can change down without a clutch, just make sure you haven't got it under heavy load and it'll get you home. When you have to stop, use the kill switch. To pull off get it into first and then push starter to go. You'll find it easier if you develop a a lack of mechanical sympathy
