So I cracked open my throttle control to see that the idle cable / throttle closing cable was frayed. Cool. I'll order up a cable from a trusty sponsor - American Sport Bike.

American Sport Bike did a fantastic job of getting me cables at a reasonable price in a reasonable time. Problem is that, as it turns out, CA S2's have different throttle cables American Sport Bike doesn't carry the Ca specific ones. I figured I'd find a home for those other cables - so I'm not really bothered.

So I headed down to my somewhat trusty dealership and asked for an idle cable for my Ca S2. 10 days and $30-ish later, they sent me the EXACTLY RIGHT CABLE - except that the thread on the cable is for the throttle / open side.

I wanna ride my freakin' bike. Time for generic cable.

When mine broke I went to the HD dealership and asked for a set of cables for a 96 Sportster.... they worked just fine.
I replaced them both at the same time so there wasn't a mix up between open/close.

For the Cali 96 S2, the part numbers are as follows:
Throttle N0317.8
Idle N0318.8
Neither is in stock at any dealer according to lookup but both are available : (

HOWEVER....2 dealers in Cali show the old part number for the idle cable (56404-95y) in stock.

Halls HD/Chico, 530-893-1918
Biggs HD/Oceanside, 760-433-2060

Hope it helps!
