FAQs

What does 'TC513 T' signify?

'TC513 T' is the manufacturer part number for this specific Apico throttle cable, indicating its unique design and fitment.

Is this cable compatible with models outside of 2021-2023?

No, this specific cable is designed and manufactured for KTM SX, Husqvarna TC, and Gas Gas MC models from 2021 to 2023. Using it on other model years may result in improper fit and function.

Do I need to lubricate the cable?

Modern throttle cables are often sealed and do not require lubrication. Refer to the specific recommendations for your motorcycle model or Apico's guidance if available. Excessive lubrication can attract dirt.

How do I adjust the throttle cable free play?

Throttle cable free play is typically adjusted at the throttle housing or the carburetor/throttle body connection using integrated adjusters. Consult your motorcycle's service manual for precise adjustment procedures.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic motorcycle tools are usually required, including screwdrivers, wrenches, and potentially pliers. A service manual for your specific motorcycle model is highly recommended for detailed instructions.

Can I use this cable if I have aftermarket handlebars?

Aftermarket handlebars can sometimes affect cable length requirements. Ensure that the routing path from the throttle assembly to the carburetor/throttle body is not too long or too short with your aftermarket setup. Minor adjustments might be possible with the cable's built-in adjusters.

Troubleshooting

Throttle is sticky or stiff.

Check for kinks or sharp bends in the cable routing. Ensure the cable housing is clean and free of debris. Verify that the cable is not binding at the throttle assembly or carburetor/throttle body connection.

Throttle does not return to idle.

Inspect the throttle return spring mechanism. Ensure the cable has the correct amount of free play at the grip and is not too tight. Check for obstructions around the throttle tube.

Cable broke during installation or use.

Ensure the correct part number and model compatibility were used. Check for excessive force applied during installation or unusual stress on the cable during operation. Inspect surrounding components for any sharp edges that might damage the cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This throttle cable (TC513 T) is compatible with:

  • KTM SX 125/150/250 models from 2021-2023
  • Husqvarna TC 125/250 models from 2021-2023
  • Gas Gas MC 125/250 models from 2021-2023

Setup: Installation typically involves routing the new cable from the throttle assembly on the handlebar to the carburetor or throttle body. It is recommended to consult your motorcycle's service manual for detailed instructions specific to your model. Ensure the cable is properly seated at both ends and that there is a small amount of free play at the throttle grip.

Care:

  • Keep the cable housing free from dirt and debris.
  • Periodically check for any signs of fraying or damage to the cable.
