Title: Can't find the part number for the throttle adjuster
Post by: benebob on October 04, 2016, 11:02:28 PM
Seems I snapped the POS plastic throttle adjuster when I had the steering apart.  Spent a good 1/2 hour looking at the parts diagrams and there doesn't seem to be a replacment part number for it.  This is the adjuster that sits below the right handlebar switch gear.  Anybody have any ideas?

Its part of the cable assembly, I've never   known of a successful repair either  :BangHead

Man that sucks, $40 for a new one.  Guess it just made sense to replace those brass seperate adjusters with something that makes you go to the stealership...  Then when they stop selling parts you need to junk the bike and buy a new one.

there are thousands of used parts on German Ebay (ebay.de). You can collect another bike from there:)

Its part of the throttle cable though and cant see how you would replace it anyway, the inner has a soldered nipple which would have to come off??
But I see that a US bike breaker on ebay is asking more for a second hand one than they are new over here, its not often we in the UK come out better off, I can buy new for £20 odd or second hand for £12.
