The Apico Throttle Cable (TC401A) is a high-performance replacement component specifically engineered for Suzuki RM125 and RM250 motocross and enduro models manufactured up to 1994. Ideal for riders looking to restore their vintage machine to factory-level performance or those in need of a reliable maintenance upgrade, this cable ensures smooth throttle actuation and consistent response. While it offers excellent durability and an exact fit, users should note that it is limited specifically to the pre-1994 Suzuki RM series and requires proper lubrication during installation to maintain its longevity.

No, this cable is specifically designed for Suzuki RM125 and RM250 models produced up to 1994.
It is recommended to apply a high-quality cable lubricant during installation to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
No, this is a replacement throttle cable only; the throttle grip and housing are sold separately.
You should aim for approximately 2-3mm of free-play at the twist-grip, ensuring the engine idle is unaffected by handlebar movement.
This is an Apico performance part designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, offering an equivalent or superior alternative to factory parts.
Check the cable routing for sharp bends or kinks. Ensure the cable has been properly lubricated.
The cable is adjusted too tight. Loosen the adjuster at the handlebar assembly until there is proper free-play.
Verify that the throttle grip tube is not rubbing against the handlebar and that the cable is not frayed or pinched inside the housing.
To install the TC401A, begin by securing the handlebars and ensuring the path from the twist-grip to the carburetor is clear of sharp bends. Before inserting the cable, it is highly recommended to use a high-quality cable lubricant to ensure long-term smoothness. Once routed, connect the ends to the throttle assembly and the carburetor slide/linkage. Adjust the `throttle-free-play` at the handlebar adjuster until you achieve the manufacturer's specified slack—usually 2-3mm—ensuring the engine idle does not fluctuate when turning the handlebars lock-to-lock. Regular maintenance includes periodic inspection for fraying and re-lubrication every few rides to prevent internal corrosion.
