Snapped a throttle cable coming home from work last thursday. BUGGER, so i rigged up the return cable and limped home. Called yamaha pitmans ( one of the biggest dealerships down here in adelaide ) Sorry no stock, it will have to come from sydney.( no surprise there ). Phone rings this morning, ( you beauty my part has arrived i will go and pick it up. ) Sorry no stock it will have to come from Japan! Theres got to be someone in this wide brown land sitting on a good stash of stock parts, surely.

I've got a set of throttle cables from a SR400 that have around 200k's of wear on them. (bugger all) How much is a fair price?
I'll have to hunt around the garage...

Thanks mate but the cable is in the mail already, i was just voicing my frustration at the difficulty in getting parts for these fine motorcycles. For example, my tacho is shot, ( needle is broken and it just spins wildly. ) Got a quote for new one, but i dont have a spare 400 bucks. I reckon i have tried every wrecker in oz looking for one, no go. Maybe there is someone that can fix and recondition old gauges, but i have not heard of them. You can get smaller gauges from firms like Vanem but i want a full size one. Anyway as i said, thanks for the offer.

I get my cables though various places. Normal cables I get through Yamaha Aus...ones to suit clip-ons, Vanem or Deus. Vanem has longer than standard ones as well. It's also good to get a few spares for the cupboard, just in case.... SR |

Vanem had a set of gauges off a new sr400 for sale recently, i think they were listed on ebay.

hell - i've had to buy three stators from e-bay for my bike (d**n water keeps getting in and shorting the d**n thing out!) I'm sick of trying to find a new one for less than 500 dollars. Last one I bought didn't work right - the thing sputters and stutters after it warms up.
