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.
