Apico Throttle Cable - Kawasaki KX 85/100 2001-17

This throttle cable is designed specifically for Kawasaki KX 85 and KX 100 models from the years 2001 to 2017.

Yes, the Apico throttle cable is manufactured to exact OEM specifications, serving as an exact replacement for the original part.

Standard motorcycle tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and possibly pliers, are typically required for installation. Mechanical knowledge of motorcycle controls is also recommended.

Throttle free play is adjusted using the adjuster nuts located on the cable housing near the throttle assembly on the handlebar and/or near the carburetor. Typically, you want 2-3mm of free play before the throttle mechanism engages.

While it ensures smooth and precise operation like a new OEM cable, its primary function is to restore original performance. Significant improvements beyond a new cable's standard function are not expected.

With proper installation, care, and regular inspection, this durable cable should last for many riding seasons, comparable to the lifespan of an original OEM cable under similar conditions.

If the cable feels rough, it may need lubrication. Try applying a suitable cable lubricant to the inner cable. If the roughness persists, the cable may be damaged internally and should be replaced.

Check for kinks in the cable housing. Ensure the cable is routed correctly without sharp bends. Lubricate the inside of the cable sheath.

The cable may be too tight or misrouted. Adjust the cable free play at the adjuster points. Ensure the throttle grip is not obstructed by other controls or components.

The cable is likely too slack. Adjust the cable tension using the adjuster nuts at the handlebar or carburetor end to achieve the correct free play.

Replace the throttle cable immediately with a new one, ensuring correct routing and tension during installation.
