your jsut luck you wernt out in the sticks somewhere punching it in 2nd...next thing you know cable snaps.. you nealy go over the bars and you have to call a mate to come pick you and the bike up with a trailer
There's 2 throttle cables in there for a reason. Just get your tool kit out and rig it up so you can still operate the throttle. It won't be perfect but it'll be enough to get you home!
The 2KR only has one cable, found out when they tried to sell me two and only one came of my bike. They checked and found that the 3ln had two but 2kr had one.
Well i learnt something today! Never had to pull apart a 2KR throttle assembly but even on the old Yamaha SRX250 i pulled apart on the side of the road it had two cables and the throttle housing looked identical to the 2KR.
