Awww thats a shame , how did the throttle become damaged when you where messing with the rear wheel ???
As for the new puncher are you sure you got the object/s out of the tyre ??
Frustrating I know but look at it all as a learning experience , atleast now you know how to take the rear wheel out and put it back again , so give you self a pat on the back for that one .......well done

Anyone ever taken the back wheel off their Sakura?

Throttles just old and not very good I think... there are a few being sold on E-Bay but I'd much prefer the convenience of actually going to a shop and buying one.
It's a three-wire type, Red, Green and Black, although it's just the twisty mechanism that's actually broken. I don't know how that can be fixed as I don't know how it stayed in place in the first place, no doubt some doohickey has fallen off.
Also as a result of wheel removal the band-brakes now not very good... and needs to be tightened / fixed as well.
AND... I need to get a new thingie for one of those screws in picture number 2 to rest upon... that wheel tensioner thing... groan...
I'm almost tempted to throw in the towel, but I've done so much work and stuff it'd be daft to chuck all that experience away, and anyway, I can't quit the moment things get tough. So I'll be slogging it out... let you know how it goes.

Thats the spirit
Everythings a nightmere the first time you do it, I remember the first time I looked at trying to get the battery packs out of the berlingo, it looked like it was going to be a mere, but now if someone asked me I can get each pack out in about 15mins per pack except for the middle one which might take an hour or so.
Keep at it , its worth it in the long run as you will now know how it all works, comes apart, and what does what , which means rather than paying someone else 100's of hard earned quids to replace a bolt or so you will be able to do it all yourself

Generally the throttles on these bikes are Hall Effect devices. You have a magnet attatched to the twistgrip and a sensor in the stationary part.
The three wires are power, ground and signal. The voltage on the signal out wire varies with throttle position.

Aye, it's sorted and I'm on my way to my next iteration of the range extender / prformance enhancer. I've plumbed in a switch and the plan is going to be to have a bit of voltage boost (only about 2 volts) when voltage is depressed due to deep cycling or on cold days. Thinking of getting some of those chemical pack things that warm you up when you "click" them for the cold, too.
