Is this a direct replacement for the original throttle cable?

Yes, the Apico Throttle Cable is designed to be an exact replacement for OEM parts, ensuring a perfect fit and function.

What materials are used in the construction of this cable?

The cable is made from durable materials selected for longevity and reliable performance in demanding off-road conditions.

How difficult is the installation process?

The cable is designed for easy fitting, suitable for riders with basic mechanical knowledge. However, consulting a service manual or a professional mechanic is recommended for precise installation.

Will this cable improve my bike's performance significantly?

This cable is designed to restore optimal throttle response as an OEM replacement. Any performance improvement will be most noticeable if the original cable was worn or damaged. It ensures smooth and responsive control.

Does the cable come pre-lubricated?

Modern throttle cables are typically designed to function without internal lubrication, as lubricants can attract dirt. Ensure the cable path is clean.

What is the manufacturer part number for this cable?

The manufacturer part number for this Apico Throttle Cable is TC552 T.

Troubleshooting

Throttle is sticky or does not return to idle.

Check for any kinks or binding in the cable path. Ensure the cable is correctly routed and not pinched. Verify that the cable is properly adjusted at both the throttle grip and the carburetor end. The throttle housing itself may also need cleaning or lubrication if the issue persists.

Cable feels too tight with no free play.

Adjust the cable tensioner at the throttle housing or carburetor. There should be a small amount of free play (typically 2-4mm) at the throttle grip before resistance is felt.

Cable snapped or frayed.

The cable has reached the end of its service life and must be replaced immediately with a new Apico Throttle Cable (TC552 T) or equivalent.

Throttle is sluggish during operation.

Inspect the cable for internal damage or contamination. Ensure the cable is properly routed and not rubbing against any components. Sometimes, the throttle tube on the handlebar can become dirty and impede smooth rotation, requiring cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise fitment as an OEM replacement.
  • Constructed with durable materials for extended lifespan.
  • Contributes to smooth and responsive throttle action.
  • Enhances motorcycle aesthetics with a factory team look.
  • Simple and easy to install.

Cons

  • Limited compatibility, only fits specific KTM and Husqvarna models and years.
  • May require professional installation if the user is not familiar with motorcycle mechanics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This throttle cable is specifically designed for:

  • KTM SX50 models manufactured between 2009 and 2020.
  • Husqvarna TC50 models manufactured between 2017 and 2020.

Always verify your motorcycle's make, model, and year against this list before installation.

Setup: Installation involves removing the old throttle cable and routing the new Apico cable along the same path. Connect one end to the throttle assembly on the handlebar and the other end to the carburetor or throttle body. Ensure smooth operation by gently twisting the throttle several times. Adjustments may be needed at the carburetor or throttle housing to achieve the correct slack and full throttle return. It is recommended to consult your motorcycle's service manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly inspect the throttle cable for any signs of fraying, kinks, or damage. Keep the cable pathway clean and free of debris. Lubrication of the cable's interior is generally not recommended or necessary for modern cables, as it can attract dirt. If the cable feels stiff or sticky, it is usually an indication that it needs replacement rather than lubrication.
