So I'm taking a tour around the bike the other day. Background: bought the 2008 buell blast as my first bike from a harley dealer, with 1,900 miles maintained by the dealership and used as training bike. It's been riding great. Has some trouble starting up in the cold no biggy.
Now I came across what you will see in the images something concerning. I don't know a lot about motorcycles at all but it appears to be a throttle cable? If that's the correct name for this cable that looks insanely mangled. Bike revs and rides fine but due to its condition I'm worried this thing is gonna snap on me while riding it and it will then leave me stranded. Does anyone know the name of this cable that I need for the replacement, how did this happen, where I could get another one, and how easy is it to replace? Thank you for reading.
