What does 'quick-action throttle cable' mean?

A quick-action throttle cable system allows the carburetor to open fully with a shorter rotation of the throttle grip, providing a faster response.

Is this cable suitable for standard carburetors?

Yes, it can be used as a replacement for a standard throttle cable, offering a smoother and more maintenance-free experience.

Does this cable require lubrication?

No, this throttle cable is designed for maintenance-free operation and does not typically require lubrication.

What is the color of the cable?

The cable is black.

Troubleshooting

Throttle is sticky or stiff

Check for any kinks or sharp bends in the cable routing. Ensure the cable is not catching on any frame parts. Verify that the throttle sleeve nipple is correctly installed and not binding.

Cable feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the cable tension using the inline adjusters located at the carburetor end and/or the throttle housing. Allow for a small amount of free play at the throttle grip.

Carburetor does not fully open or close

Ensure the correct nipple size is used at the carburetor. Check that the throttle sleeve is moving freely on the handlebar. Re-adjust cable tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improves throttle response for tuned engines.
  • Offers a smooth and consistent feel.
  • Low maintenance requirement.
  • Easy installation with pre-fitted carb nipple.

Cons

  • Throttle sleeve nipple must be purchased separately.
  • May require adjustments for specific carburetor conversions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This cable is specifically designed for the Yamaha DT 50 LC models manufactured between 1993 and 1997. It is also suitable for use with tuned carburetors, such as PWK types, when a quick-action throttle conversion is desired.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the old throttle cable is disconnected from both the throttle grip and the carburetor.
  2. Connect the pre-fitted carb nipple of the new 101 Octane cable to the carburetor.
  3. Route the cable carefully, avoiding sharp bends or kinks.
  4. Attach the cable to the throttle sleeve. Note: The nipple for the throttle sleeve needs to be ordered separately and attached before connecting.
  5. Adjust the cable tension at the adjuster points on the carburetor and/or throttle housing for optimal free play.

Care: This throttle cable is designed to be maintenance-free. Regularly check for smooth operation and ensure it is not binding or rubbing against other components. No lubrication is typically required due to its design.
