If you are running a VM36 with the stock throttle...you either have to buy a cable from Lancer, have someone custom make you one, or make one yourself.

I bought the parts I needed from a bicycle shop, and I used the stainless teflon coated inner wire. It is really smooth....took me a while to learn how to solder to stainless. I needed a special flux.

If you are at all handy with a soldering iron, you can get throttle cable kits from Venhill. The inner cable is galvanized to make it easy to solder - but it didn't make a cable as smooth as the stainless inner and bicycle shop outer.

The throttle cables I have made run $60 + shp. so they are not cheap, and takes a couple of weeks to get usually. They are really nice cables and if you want stainless braid for a few extra $$ you can do that too; even get a full matching set of throttle/clutch/brake cables/line. (~$200 for the set)

If you can make your own stuff it can save some money now and more whenever you need cables later. It's fun too.

I don't know what that throttle looks like/how it's set up, so cannot say how it may affect anything. The throttle cables I use are made to specifically match the 3 types of hookups used on the LS650.
Making your own may be a good way to go if you are comfortable with doing so.
