Title: Can I have a little Help please...
Post by 23Skidoo on 02/06/12 at 04:36:55

Sorry I know wrong section but desperate..

My throttle cable snapped Friday on my 2002 LS. and I'm buggered if I can find a new replacement in the UK. All I can find is up to '96 and they don't look the same...

Can anyone recommend a good US supplier..?

And do I really have to remove the tank to replace as the petlock is stuck on.. well on and has a full tank lol....

Hope you don't mind my plea for help

Skiddo, post in the marketplace.  alot of times folks have bikes they are parting out and you can get one from them.  i picked up a throttle and a clutch cable that way.

A short stool or anything to sit a gas can on & you can pop the gas line off the carb & poke it in the can, let the tank empty out..

I've had both a '92 and a '02 and the throttle cables are the same.
Our '86 to '88's have a screw in fitting on the control
vs. the '95 and later have a plate that has a screw to hold the cable in.

If you can't find a working Suzuki cable, you can always send the popped one to Motionpro and have them match it. They take a while to fill the order but the end product is very good.

Did you already try BikeBandit.com?

I would think a local shop could point you to a place that made cables.
And they could rethread a cable and flex housing onto throttle end fitting.

I think I have some used stock cables.  If you want one I'll send it just for the shipping cost.
Holler and let me know ...

Thanks for the help guys... I knew I could count on you for some support... I've got a few calls to make in the UK but if I get stuck I may take up Lancers kind offer.. I have paypal etc.. Walking is rubbish. :D

Again many thanks from the Garden of England..

Sorted, managed to get one in the UK. £35 British pounds sounded expensive but not going anywhere without one.

Many thanks for the support and Lancers super kind offer..

It sometimes just helps being able to share a problem..

Cheers..
