Problem with these Jeff is the issue if more than likely hidden inside the sheathing. My oem slides back and forth perfectly while in my hand, but the throttle has "stuck" twice in the past 2 weeks. Did it last year too.
They have a 30 day return policy, but I'm going to email them anyway and tell them it's a "known" issue.
I will do the same if I have both cables. If they don't know about the issue, they can't ask their supplier to fix it. I bought the second one back in April and it lasted a week.
