If the throttle, choke, clutch, or drum brake no longer operate as smoothly as usual, it's essential to inspect the levers and, most importantly, the control cable in use.
Even a single broken strand in the cable core can cause the entire control cable to snap during a ride. Regular lubrication with control cable spray is also essential to maintain functionality.
With the motorcycle season just starting, your bike may have been idle for months, and the lubrication from last fall might no longer be sufficient. Before heading out, check the relevant components carefully. Additionally, always carry an emergency repair kit with cable material and screw nipples. If the cable breaks, it can leave you stranded.
