This is a universal throttle cable designed for motocross, enduro, and trials bikes. While it aims for broad compatibility, it's recommended to measure your existing cable's length (1.35 metres) and check the end fitting types against your throttle assembly and carburetor to ensure a perfect match.
The cable is 1.35 metres (approximately 53 inches) in length.
Basic motorcycle maintenance tools, such as wrenches, pliers, and screwdrivers, are typically required. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific tool recommendations and installation procedures.
The Apico cable is designed as an exact replacement for OEM parts, offering premium quality and a perfect fit, often with enhanced durability and aesthetics.
While it provides a reliable and smooth connection, its primary function is to replace an existing cable. Significant improvements in throttle response would depend on the condition of the previous cable and overall engine tuning.
It is recommended to inspect the cable regularly, especially before and after intense riding sessions, for any signs of wear or damage. Periodic lubrication, as per your motorcycle manufacturer's guidelines, can also prolong its life.
Check for kinks in the cable. Ensure it is routed correctly and not rubbing against any frame components. Verify that the throttle tube spins freely on the handlebar and that the cable is properly lubricated.
Adjust the cable tension at the carburetor/throttle body end and the handlebar-mounted adjuster. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for the correct free play specifications.
Inspect for sharp bends or abrasion points along the cable's route. Ensure the cable is not overtightened or subjected to excessive stress. Consider if the cable length is appropriate for the motorcycle's setup.
Setup: This cable is designed as a direct replacement. Ensure the motorcycle is properly supported and disconnected from any power source before beginning. Carefully detach the old cable from both the throttle assembly and the carburetor/throttle body. Route the new Apico cable, ensuring it is free from kinks and does not interfere with moving parts. Connect both ends securely and adjust free play according to your motorcycle's service manual.
Compatibility: While designed as a universal fit for motocross, enduro, and trials motorcycles, it is crucial to measure your existing cable's length and connection types to ensure this 1.35-metre cable is suitable for your specific make and model. Verify that the end fittings match your throttle housing and carburetor.
Care: Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage, especially after heavy use or exposure to harsh conditions. Clean around the cable entry points to prevent dirt and debris buildup. Lubricate the cable periodically if recommended by your motorcycle's manufacturer, using a light, water-resistant lubricant suitable for control cables.
