nasty scare check throttle cables - Kosmic Kartman - 15-04-14
Had a throttle cable jam open on saturday night. Scared my daughter more than me but the shock is just starting to sink in. Looks like the open cable has a fryed strand down by the throttle body and in turn got fowled in the cable outer causing the jam. Manages to free it up but for a brief moment i had trouble closing the throttle. Please check yours though not heard this happening on any fazer before. Think i've been unlucky as my choke cable went the same was.

Thanks for the heads up. :thumbup I wonder if Nick Crisp could use this as a mitigating circumstance. :think

Only had my Gen1 for 3 weeks and am going over all the cables , have already found broken strands on the EXup cables where they have been bent during unhooking without getting enough slack first or removing the pulley . The Throttle and Clutch Cables don't look up to much either so think i will get genuine ( discounted ) and just do a kit job on the EXup as it's not that vital miles from home . Quite enjoy the fettling though and good you both ok .
