Can I have a little Help please...
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

Reply #4 - 02/06/12 at 08:02:31 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.

Reply #5 - 02/06/12 at 14:29:25 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.

Reply #7 - 02/06/12 at 14:41:24 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 ...

Reply #12 - 02/08/12 at 00:37:34 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.. AJ
