Throttle cable with out Idle cable got stuck
Went to a club party Sat night \\;\\\\\\; a dude with a Bobber single Throttle cable \\;\\\\\\;old school set up jocky shift foot clutch went to back his bike up to the curb and park. All of a sudden thought he was doing a burn out WTF not so cable got stuck wide open. He \\;\\\\\\;was able to shut the bike down what happened he hit a pot hole on the street to the club Broke his front drum brake linkage and some how messed up his throttle cable up at the grip. Now I can see the importance of a Idle cable. Never thought of it till I saw this happen if the bike had the 2nd cable the idle cable you can just move the grip foward to throttle down.

I never had any problems with a single throttle cable, as long as you check for fraying, maintain proper ajustment, return sping in order \\;and lube, no problems. This \\;is good practice \\;for any cable operated system. \\;
