anyone got any good stories?




I was downtown this morning...just leaving work. boom broken cable. waited
for the tools to arrive... street side maintenance. ended up having to tie
a not in the end of the cable and wrap elect tape in place of the lead end
bit (inside the handlebar)....and limp home with a rather ghetto stuck
barely working throttle.
...82' Yamaha XS400 Heritage

New throttle cable only costs $15CDN. Anyone know if I can expect just the
cable...and have to fish it thru the rubber hose....or will it be the whole
hose and cable duo? I ask, cuz the ends on my original cable were leaded
on....and if the new ones are the same? ..how do i fish it thru?

It should come complete. I used to have an 82 xs400 and the t cable I put
on it came complete.

yup. cable was complete....probably a stupid question to begin with.

only problem was the new cable was about an inch longer than the original,
which left me with some very annoying slack and some play with the
handle...(found an ingenious solution involving a little piece of plastic
inside the handle tho...solved)

Glad to hear you got it fixed. I am regretting selling my old xs400. It
was a fun little bike. My roadstar just doesn't drive like the old one.
