Throttle Cable help - SV650.org

part of the throttle cable assembly snapped a while ago when I threw my bike into the scenery.
It has been ok does stick now and again and feels tight but it was rideable, today on the way to work the throttle was sticking quite bad and upon inspection looks like the cable is ready to snap.
I have looked on wemoto at some replacement cables but I get the feeling I wont get the part that has snapped and will get the same issue happening.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Its part of the cable assembly on the parts fiche, Wemoto are probably using a generic photo

If in doubt get the genuine cable from here

Cheers Mav,
Quite a big price difference especially if I need to replace both cables.
I presume its better to replace both cables at the same time both the Pull and Push ?

Not strictly necessary to replace both IMHO

hindle8907 · 28-12-11, 10:34 AM

Cheers, I take it the one I need is the Pull being number 13

Think so

Buy both just to be sure

If im honest, and i cant work it out from that photo; there are 2 cables, one that pulls, one that 'pushes' if its the push cable, remove it alltogether. I have only had a single cable on my SV for 8 years or so.(70+k miles)

The 2 cables are easy to identify. The pull cable has a little tab on it(To screw it to the bars)(12 in the fische), the push doesnt.

The push cable is only there to satisfy the german TUV standards. If the throttle sticks open, hit the kill switch.
