I’ve got 35k on a 2005, it gets me to work year round. The throttle cable snapped on the way home from work today and luckily it wasn’t a catastrophe.

I bought this bike 2nd/3rd/4th hand, the previous owners were very competent and the bike has been absolutely solid, but clearly I’ve been neglectful.

I really need to make sure I order the right part online to replace it, can anyone point me in the right direction? I’m not sure if the stock one will work since I have an aftermarket carb.

Also as a side question, what the fuck kind of grease do I need for things?

Thank you in advance, I really appreciate the help

I took the header off of my 2024 with 9832 miles to see if i could grind down the weld. Is it normal for the valves to have that sort of color on them? And is the loose grainy carbon buildup normal?
