    Hi guys,

    Does this cable need replacing do you think? Was going to tape it up straight.

    Throttle is still smooth and springy. I'm not 100% sure what the cable is but it's something to do with my quick action throttle image.jpg

    I wouldn't want to experience any throttle issues mid corner mate.... Personally I'd say play safe and replace ;)

    But what do i know :)

    The outer casing is cracked so will let in contaminates which will effect the throttle action.

    Bottom line is, as per your Brake line thread (Pun intended), you've binned it, so replace all damaged safety related items, simpleeeessss! :cool:

    They're cheap to replace.
    Not worth the risk

    I think that's the throttle return cable and you should fix it :)
