Default uh son!

finally after the long wait.. I now own a 92Honda F2, got it for 1200, but the owner said on his last ride.. he snapped the throttle cable, if i'm correct then throttle does not spring back just continues to move.

any one know any shops in socal that carry f2 cables? I tried searching on some sites, i wana take this bad boy out for a spin alreadyyyyyy

snapped throttle cable typically means it wont open the throttle at all.

if the throttle return spring(s) have been removed/broke, then the throttle wont return to idle. it should be noted that stunters sometimes remove the throttle return springs so they can do their "stuff" and take their hands off the throttle and maintain engine speed. hopefully your bike wasnt used in this manner.

Have you tried eBay? There should be tons of F2/3 parts there. Ron Ayers has the part, new, but you'll pay a lot for it.
