Does anyone have 1 good TX650 throttle cable? I bought a new one last summer. Should have bought 2 as my other one is stretched at its max.
 
If you study part numbers 29 and 30, in this attached parts fiche, you may see that the curvature of the elbows are somewhat different. As they exit the throttle housing, one is above the other, so need different curve radiuses to avoid hitting each other.

The left/inner, smaller radius elbow cable goes to the left carb...

You're welcome, but, oh-ho, there's more. The MikesXS cable lists that part number as the RIGHT cable, but it has the tighter radius. Edit: No, MikesXS pic looks like larger radius. Yamaha part numbers reversed?

Convention usually has the inner/left cable going to the left carb, but you can put them either way. The important thing is that you have one of each. So, you may need to additionally specify if it's the tighter bend version, or the larger bend elbow.

Just FYI, I've been bit by this before...
