To check that lower cable, it really needs to be removed from the throttle tube and simply pulled at the throttle body end (or disconnected altogether and felt for any binding). Spinning the throttle tube really isn't showing anything.
Peek down below the frame and you'll see where the cable attach. The non broke, upper, safety return cable is THE TOP CABLE at the thottle bodies. The lower cable, closest to the radiator hose is the pull, raise RPM's, (or your broke cable)
That one picture showing that super sharp bend is very likely why the cable broke.
When re-installing the new cable, with the mods done to it, you may have to look at some slightly different routes for the cables to prevent that sharp kinking from occurring. Make sure you check with turning the steering to both sides fully and all the gauges installed, etc... You may have to route those cables slightly higher to acount for the excess lenth your now dealing with.. Just take your time, you can play with the routing as your waiting for the new cable(s) to arrive.
What I was referring to last night, re the attachment points/adjustments at the throttle bodies:
Once again, the lower cable shown is the "Pull" or increase RPM's cable..
BTW, its usually MUCH easier to attach the new cable at the TB's first, (after they've been routed), then to the throttle, assemble the throttle, then adjust (tighten) the cables back at the TB's.
