Hi guys. I'm in Australia and need 2 new throttle cables for a 1994 FJ1200. Does anyone have some for sale and anyone know the part numbers?
Thanks again,
Barney

Barney,
Can't help directly, but a good motorcycle shop may be able to duplicate the old cables that you have there. Maybe the 1994 was not imported to the USA, but here is a parts catalog for a 1993. Check the "Handlebar Cable" sheet:

This will not fix broken cable strands, but you may just need some cable lube. Many bike shops sell this gadget, or similar:

NOTE: WD-40 is mostly kerosene. It will gum up the works. Use a good quality lube, not silicone.
HTH.
