[QUOTE="FLBob, post: 702943, member: 23588"] 97 KDX220-For the second time in a year, I get the hole shot at a H/S, but before I get to the first turn my throttle cable snaps. I had a spare, put it in and got two laps so I'll get some points for year end but:( What am I doing wrong? Last year it broke at the twist grip right at the sharp bend, so I replaced the little plastic guide along with the cable. I lub the cable about every other race with cable lub and one of those injector adapter thingies and keep the area at the throttle tube well greased. I had a few hairs on the cable when I lubed last but thought it would be OK, but I didn't check the bottom (at the carb). This time it broke at carb. I've never had problems in the carb area before and didn't check that. I don't remember ever having cable "problems" on other bikes. I did a search and found a warning about some wear or something at the tube leading to the carb and I'll be checking that out. Any ideas? One lub better than the rest? Better lub technique? Common problem? Thanks [/QUOTE]
