BoomerCPO Posted August 28, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2011 My pygmies sing his song "On the road again" every time we take off on the scoot. Boomer....who sez they also sing "Hit me with your best shot" when they are at Dairy Queen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideoftheroad Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted August 28, 2011 Boomer. Yummmmmmmmm. Dairy Queen. That be the one Randy. What do you mean again Bob? Uh, this never happens to me. I was with my friend whom just bought a new stryker. He wanted to go to Westfield Yamaha to see what accessories they had. Afterwords when he and I left to go home, I had just turned to get onto 31, got about 30 yrds and snap. The throttle cable broke. Luckily I was literally on the other side of the road from the dealer. A new cable is cheap, which they didn't have in stock so I had to leave it there :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted September 3, 2011 As I mentioned before the right top throttle cable broke. Just called and they said it is on backorder. I really can't see a huge demand in throttle cables except for new models so not sure why it is on backorder. Any suggestions on where I might be able to get a replacement?

Patrolman46 Posted September 3, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 3, 2011 Way off subject, but I can't resist. Next time at the Dairy Queen try a "Cherry Chocolate Love". It's simply the best!! C Ya, Patrolman 46:bobby: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted September 3, 2011 Pinwall has several listed but since there is more than 1 throttle cable don't know which is the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted September 3, 2011 Share #10 Posted September 3, 2011 Pinwall has several listed but since there is more than 1 throttle cable don't know which is the right one. If the bike uses two throttle cables... order both. When one goes the other can't be far behind ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share #11 Posted September 4, 2011 The only problem is the cables look all the same so I wouldn't want to buy more than one as it might be the same one. Pinwall doesn't list Yamaha part #'s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flb_78 Posted September 6, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 6, 2011 Whoever the vendor is for the Flanders bar offers the throttle cables in +2 inches. Im sure he could get them in the standard length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share #15 Posted September 8, 2011 Thank you. I sent them an email to see if they have a standard cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friesman Posted September 12, 2011 Share #18 Posted September 12, 2011 Well if you were stranded and waiting on the side of the road there is a song about Willie Nelson that might work for you....to help pass the time waiting........

Sideoftheroad Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share #19 Posted September 16, 2011 Just got a reply from Paul Flanders who appologized for the delay (must be busy :-) So anyone interested in the future for $30 you can send your cable to him and he will rebuild the cable for you. He said they would need to use the throttle elbows from the original cables. 2 day turn around time after he receives it. He also said he sells Motion Pro cables but takes 2-3 weeks to get them in. Braided Stainless Steel. Stock length + 3.5" on the pull cable and return cable is stock + 2" for $39.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
