Hi all

im matt and ive just signed up on here
I bought myself an MK Indy last week after borrowing my girlfriends dads fisher fury to enter a race in, i just had to have one myself!!

a couple of days after getting it the throttle cable ended up snapping and im not sure where to get a new one from!

it is 1.7meters long

has a 6mm eye on one end (to go over a bolt on the bottom of the peddle)

and has a lead barrel nipple on the other end to go the the throttle on a 919 fireblade engine

can anyone help me out? even a universal 'make it yourself' kit would be enough!

its just bodged together atm so i could get it home!

thanks!

Not used them myself (yet), but most on the forum recommend speedycables (www.speedycables.com).

HTH

thanks, set a request off to them to get a price

anywhere else to try?

or does anyone know if the cable i have is off another vehicle? bit of a long shot i guess!

Try your local motorcycle shop, mine has made cables for me for mx bikes, karts, law mowers and all sorts. Take old one with you for a pattern.

Hi an welcome to the site ..
Iv got an escort throttle cable if that would be any use to you
If you send me a u2u with email ill send u a couple of pics

Mine uses a push bike rear brake cable, no point making it expensive, in the old days for long runs you cut down a hillman imp cable.

Venhill have some good stuff.

Something like New Venhill Universal Throttle Cable Motorcycle Trials Kit, great product | eBay maybe.

Throttle cables break because the pedal is pulling the cable taught at full throttle, the pedal movement should only pull the throttle to 99% open not 101% or even 100%.

Thanks for the replies.

I've tried a brake cable, the barrel nipple is too big though. It could be filed down to fit if needs be I guess....

As for the reason why it snapped. Indeed you are right, the first thing I did was make an adjustable pedal stop. It was only a couple of days after buying it

Filed mine down now you mention it
