Anyone have issues with cable failing at metal sleeve where it exits the thumb lever?
Cable on both 2016 Axys's have failed in same spot but no damage on our 13s /14 / 15's....

Its not an unheard problem for any sled. My Doo's all broke, I haven't kept a Polaris long enough to see it happen yet but its something I watch for.

I broke the cable, well the plastic sheath, on my pro this year. It happened on a cold ride.

Just did an cable on my xm. Where the throttle block holds the cable. The angle it set it on was rubbing the cable on the cable tube when the throttle pulls it out. Took 4000 km to become a problem, but still wrecked a day of riding. Have a zip tie pulling throttle cable at perfect angle now. Hoping to not have a problem again.

Just thought it was odd that both Axys cables broke in same spot but none of the pros

You think it has something to do with the Munster?

No way for me to know. I just see aftermarket parts and then report of a equipment failure involving them and by default suspect stock would have been more reliable.

Just wondering, mine failed after installing the finger throttle...

However, it was cold out, approx -20 and the plastic broke, cable is still good.
