Can anyone tell me what has to be done to replace the throttle cable on my Reeper?

I haven't heard of anyone having a need to change one so far, but it should be pretty straight forward to do. Maybe someone has some experience in changing one that will come along and help out.

My throttle cable is froze right now. Parked my unit in the barn. Been starting every day for a bit. So cold northern Indiana. Went to start it and cable is froze. Accelerator stuck. Looked and cable is frozen. Have not driven in any water in months. So really not sure why but will wait for it to thaw. Traced all the way back. Does not seem hard to change of I need to. But hopefully a warm up will do the trick. We will see

Mine broke at the point of where it connects to the throttle cable so I have no alternative but to replace it and I think it's from driving in the water at Crystal Beach as well

Call around in your area as some motorcycle shops can repair broken cables for a little of nothing. Note to self: Never get these things in salt water. I didn't even drive mine in the water and I've got problems from just being their for two days and that night it rained on mine.

Two Wheel World in Pantego Tx can repair any broken cable if you can get it to them. Pantego is Southwest of Arlington TX. Nice little bike shop that is independent. They have no specific line of motorcycles or atv's. The last time I had one fixed it cost $5 to put a new barrel end on my Kawasaki Vulcan cable. I'm sure if you include mail service they will ship to you after repair.  1922 W Pioneer Pkwy, Arlington, TX 76013 twowheelworldarlingtontx.com (817) 261-0012
