2022 Xtrainer went “Wide Open Throttle” the other day during a race.
Before I could figure out what happened a tree took me out.
I do know it had nothing to do with the throttle cable.

There is a cable for sale somewhere that has the secured end, maybe Motion Pro? But another easy fix is to safety wire the cable housing to the throttle housing to prevent it being pulled apart. Lots of results on the web if you search for "safety wire throttle cable to housing."
Here's a video showing the process: https://www.google.com/search?q=safety+ ... Oq0r_YBA34

I know I should have pulled the clutch but the first thing I thought was turn the throttle back and hit the breaks, it all happened too fast.
25’ later into a tree I’m left with with a pile of bike a broken thumb and bruised ribs.
