mine broke once when i did burnout,just twisted it to far.
but took a map gas torch and melted it back together,only to have it break again,so i bought a new one and its really strong.
P.S u dont want to be like me and have to ride 5 miles home useing your left hand to turn the throttle right at the carb ,and also using the same hand to shift.starting out is whats the b!tch,try it once u,ll see
