throttle cable broke

ok its not really the throttle cable, it's more like the throttle grip,

EDIT: I found the problem, the throttle cable was binded (thank you MrShake), i open up the starter switch, and the cable was not happy, it's bend in a weird way, the cable looks old, and it won't go back into it's origional position correctly,
do i replace the throttle cable?
or is there a way to keep using the old cable, everytime i turn the throttle, it will not return, because the cable in the grip loses it's track and locks itself up, i took some pics





ps bike in question is 86 maxim x
and i have the xj cd, greatest 10bucks ever
thank you so much maker of xjcd

 

It sounds to me like your throttle cable needs to be rerouted. Its probably being pinched our binding somewhere.

 

I would replace it. You can pick one up for $20 on ebay. Dark Horse Cycle is the ebay store. They are great, and have super fast shipping. I just replaced mine as it was getting "stickey"
