Does the cable come pre-lubricated?

Apico cables are designed to operate smoothly, but it is recommended to ensure the housing is clean and lightly lubricated if you experience any friction during installation.

What is the manufacturer part number?

The manufacturer part number for this black throttle cable is TC802 T BK.

Will this fit my Gas Gas TXT 80 model?

Yes, this cable fits all Gas Gas TXT 80 models produced between 2006 and 2018.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Generally, you only require basic hand tools, such as screwdrivers and wrenches, to remove the throttle housing and adjust the cable tension.

Troubleshooting

Throttle is sticking or sluggish

Check that the cable is not routed with too tight of a radius and verify that the throttle tube itself is clean and debris-free.

High idle speed after installation

Reduce tension on the cable adjuster located at the handlebar until the throttle snaps back freely and the idle returns to the manufacturer's specified setting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Perfect compatibility for specific Gas Gas models
  • High-quality construction ensures long-term reliability
  • Restores smooth throttle action to factory standards
  • Simple installation process for standard maintenance

Cons

  • Specific to a limited range of Gas Gas models
  • Requires mechanical knowledge for proper cable tensioning
  • Not compatible with newer or different displacement Gas Gas bikes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure the engine is off and the motorcycle is stable. Route the new cable following the path of the original to avoid kinks or sharp bends that could cause binding. Once seated, adjust the cable tensioner at the twist-grip to remove excess slack, ensuring the throttle snaps back to the closed position instantly when released. Keep the cable free of debris and periodically check for signs of fraying at the junction points. To maintain optimal performance, you may occasionally apply a small amount of cable lubricant designed for PTFE-lined housings.
