honda vt 125 shadow throttle cable issues

[ART-ADS]

the cable on the vt is a push pull mechanism, I didn't realise that the return cable 'push' side was rusted until I changed the bars because it seemed to be working fine. the regular pull cable that you find on single cable throttles in In tact and I assume the spring in the carb is good because it snaps back shut afterwards. my question is would it be ok to solder the pull cable back together as it split pretty clean because the part right now is out of stock so I don't know how long that might take for it to be available. thoughts? is it necessary as the throttle is workin fine it seems but I wouldn't want the broken cable to snag and hold the throttle open down the road idk thoughts??

Oh dear you are a delicate little flower aren't you.....

If old cable corroded in sleeve.. and you solder a new nipple on... even if you manage to do that properly, using plumbers torch, nipple solder and a nipple die, not trying to gob on loads of electrical solder with an electric iron... how long do you think the new nipple will stay in place before it too comes off?

E-bay is NOT the source off all wants.... and we-moto? Wouldn't be my first choice for bits for much, let alone an old 'onda.... Dave Silver's would be.

If DSS are out of stock, and or delivery was more than a week, which I have to say that in, err... twenty something years and, sorry I've lost count of how many old-ondaz.. a lot! I cant remember happening... I would probably buy to length... and since Venhil AFAIK are still only a couple of miles up the road.... they'd probably be my first choice. Spec by cable grade, cable length, inner and outer and nipple type and size on either end.... job jobbed.

IF you have double cable throttle.. it has two cables for a reason... as Smiler eloquently suggested, NOT the answer you want to hear... replace it.... what you want to hear is 'Sure! Be fine! Carry on riding the thing till something else brakes!" Your call, you quickly argue any advice you get that doesn't fit with your own ideals and pre-conceptions... so why ask to start with? Do what they feck you want...

Just checked Lings and the part is not available so if wemoto is out and ebay is out one alternative is to work out if you can use the cables from another bike.

CMX250Rebel perhaps? (lings do the cables for that bike)
