How many throttle cables should 80 KZ1000E have?

My bike has only one, but I suspect it should have 2.

Partzilla shows 2 one for opening one for closing.

Exactly the number shown in the FSM.

they call them push pull but actually one is there in case of some type of wide open throttle hang up.
currently im just running one also.
It up to you. but for me i dont see the need.

It's for precise control of the throttle. When I'm banging through the gears up and down, I don't want my shifting to be hung up by a slow spring. I didn't use one for years, I am now.

Kawasaki lists them as open/close, for opening or closing the throttle slides. a closing cable can serve as a spare in case the opening cable breaks.

I've never used a closer cable, although you can't go wrong using one and they do make a handy spare for roadside throttle cable breakage.

Nowadays, control cables snapping doesn't really happen as they all get replaced at the first sign of fraying.

Once i rode a bike home 20 miles with the tickover turned right up and the kill switch to slow down, it was mainly quiet country roads though.
