Chuck Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 While I had Rosie's tank off, I was doing the usual cleaning, inspecting, etc.and found one complete strand broken on the throttle cable. She only has around 20K miles, so I'd suspect that it may be a common failure. The inner cable exits the housing at a fairly sharp angle ... Probably wouldn't hurt to check.
