throttle cable broke.

FMYStreetRacer · 03-04-2007, 01:45 AM

i was out tonight and my damn throttle cable broke. it broke off in the handle grip. is this common on the roketa?
anyone know if the xr200 throttle cable is the same? i'd like to get a replacement tomorrow if possible.

mine broke about 2 weeks ago just fixed it about 2 days ago. it broke at the handle just like yours, good luck fixing it.

You may just want to replace the throttle and cable and upgrade to some better grips as they are all pretty cheap...Just an opinion...

i think i'm going to go pull the cable out right now and head up to the local bike shop and see if they have any in stock that will fit. i really want to go ride today.

as someone said before, some custom shops are equipped to make custom linkage. call around some hot rod shops, or bike shops and see if they can make a cable for you.. if not, then you will have to go thru the rigourous process of matching it up, or just getting a new throttle (which may be your best bet!)

xr200r cable looks like it's the same. local shop doesn't have one is stock though.

Let us know if it does fit when you do get it. I will put it in the Parts list thread

When you find one, Let us know what you found that fit. I will put it in the Parts list thread

I am getting a new cable from Thomas Rush @ RPM (Rush Progressive Motorsports) He's getting it straight from Lifan.

mdsuave13 · 03-05-2007, 05:04 PM

how much is that setting you back? just out of curiousity, seeing as at least 3 people's cables broke in the last few weeks or so...

sheadouglas · 03-05-2007, 06:11 PM

Do you mean money or time? I'll answer both. I think around $23 dollars plus shipping to get the cable, and probably a week or so until I get it.

FMYStreetRacer · 03-05-2007, 06:23 PM

i think my clutch cable is about to break as well. i'm going ot be ordering one of those as well. might be getting ready to order a 2007 drz400sm as well. i'm getting pretty sick off this shit breaking all the time. my bike sits waiting for parts more than i ride it.

I was able to fit an XR400 clutch cable to my 163FML2 powered XR200. I am also using Honda OE lever and perch. I did change the lower cable stop to Honda as well, only because the Lifan part flexed too much.

Dudes, your local bike shop or powersports shop will have the replacement cables, I brought my bike in and they matched the orininals and didnt have to remove them from the bike. I paid $24 for both cables. $23 for 1 cable plus shipping is a bit steep, shop around and get out of the fog of going back with OEM parts, replacement parts are readly available you just have to get out there and shop around. Remember to always buy 2 of each item that way you always have a spare, and LUBE THOSE CABLES!!!!!
