probably not. one will be shorter or longer. and when you turn your bars, the throttle will probably go wide open, and make you crash.
try get the one made for your bike. same as routing the cables. if its not done properly, the same thing will happen.

just get the one that is made for your bike. its not worth taking the chance and seeing if another brand will work. non genuine ones are like $30. i had to pay $50 for mine cause it was a saturday afternoon and the shop was just closing, so i had to get a genuine one. u can get a new cable threaded through for like $15.

take yours off, go into the bike shop and measure up how it compairs, it must be slightly longer or the same in length, never get shorter cables, my stock one on the cr250 is quite tight.

also the ends need to be the same, where it attaches into your carby, and the throttle tube.

just take your old one to a shop. they can just put a new cable through the cable housing for much cheaper. about half the price of a whole new cable.

but u have to take in both peices of the cable where it snapped so they measure it up right. its only a 10 minute wait aswell
