Can this cable be used for street-legal motorcycles?
This cable is primarily designed for motocross, enduro, and trials motorcycles, which are often used off-road. While it might fit some dual-sport models, always ensure it meets the specific requirements for street use in your region.

Troubleshooting
Throttle feels stiff or sticky
Check for kinks or damage in the cable. Ensure it's routed correctly and not binding. Lubrication may be required.
Throttle does not return to idle
Verify correct cable free play adjustment. Ensure the cable is not too tight. Check if the throttle tube is sticking or if there is debris in the throttle assembly.
Cable appears to be the wrong length
Double-check the part number against the motorcycle's specifications. Ensure the cable is routed correctly without unnecessary slack or tension.
Difficulty connecting to carburetor/throttle body
Confirm the cable end matches the connection point on your specific carburetor or throttle body. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection.

Setup:
- Disconnect Old Cable: Carefully disconnect the old throttle cable from both the throttle assembly on the handlebars and the carburetor or throttle body.
- Route New Cable: Route the new Apico throttle cable, ensuring it follows a path free of sharp bends or potential snagging points. Mimic the original cable's routing if possible.
- Connect New Cable: Connect the new cable to the throttle assembly and the carburetor/throttle body. Ensure the cable is properly seated and secured.
- Adjust Free Play: Adjust the throttle cable free play according to your motorcycle's service manual specifications. Typically, there should be a small amount of slack before the throttle begins to open.
- Test Operation: Carefully twist the throttle grip several times to ensure smooth operation and that it returns to the closed position reliably.
Care:
- Keep the throttle cable clean and free from debris.
- Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of fraying or damage.
- Lubricate the cable sparingly if it begins to feel stiff, using a light-duty cable lubricant.
