Will this fit a 1988 Yamaha YZ 125?
No, this product is specifically manufactured for the 1989-1994 model years. Please verify your bike's production year.
Does the cable come pre-lubricated?
It is recommended to apply a high-quality dry-film or cable-specific lubricant before installation to ensure smooth operation.
Can I use this for enduro riding?

What tools are needed to install this?
Generally, basic hand tools including screwdrivers for the throttle housing and wrenches for the cable adjusters are sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Throttle feels heavy or sticks after installation
Check for sharp bends or kinks in the cable routing. Ensure the cable is properly lubricated.
High idle speed after installing new cable
The cable may be too tight; back off the adjuster at the throttle housing until the engine returns to a normal idle.
Throttle does not return fully
Check for debris in the throttle tube housing and ensure the cable is not snagging on the handlebar grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines for installation and care:
- Compatibility Check: Verify that your motorcycle is a Yamaha YZ 125 or 250 produced between 1989 and 1994. This cable is specifically indexed for these years.
- Routing: When installing, ensure the cable is routed away from hot engine components and sharp frame edges to prevent premature wear. Keep the cable arc smooth with no tight kinks.
- Lubrication: While the cable is high quality, applying a dedicated cable lubricant before installation will improve slide action and prevent inner-casing rust.
- Adjustment: After installation, use the barrel adjuster on the throttle housing to set the correct amount of 'free play' before the cable engages the carburetor mechanism.
