Frozen throttle

[bhkfjr]

I think I crimped my throttle cable under the T bar after changing plugs. Took tank back off and freed cable but still no turn at grip. First time changing plugs. Bike started right up but no twist at grip. Anything obvious I can check or am

I screwed?

Never mind. I crimped the cable so bad it froze the wire inside the metal casing. Looks like a new cable for me.

I thought gen 3s would be throttle by wire now?!

It is throttle by wire but they still have cables.

Cables turn a variable resistor input sensor rather than the throttle valves.

He learned by doing. Costly lesson for him regrettably.

Meh. $30. I've made far more costly mistakes in my life.

No doubt. I got married. LOL
