cable is bound up somewhere,that is my guess.

my guess is that you got mud and water into the cable. 1st - is the plastic sheath around the cable in good shape? If it is burnt thru somewhere - it lets water and grim in causing rust and bindage. If it is damaged - save yourself some time - and go buy a new one. If the sheath is good- try lubing it up real good. Spray wd40 down in the top of the cable. Don't use sparingly - pour it in there and work the cable with the thumb throttle - do this for a couple days in a row. that should fix you up.

mud is so hard on bikes, especialy down here where we ride. its like sandy mud, i just cleaned my x and every thing was all seized up and my carburator is black for some reason. ugh, what was I thinking. :mad:
