Product Information

Full details

This Apico Throttle (THROTTLE 12) is designed for riders of 125cc+ European and Japanese 2-stroke off-road MX and Enduro bikes. Its key benefit is a significantly improved throttle response and smooth operation thanks to its quick-opening design and durable construction. A potential consideration is that its quickness may require an adjustment period for riders accustomed to slower throttles.

FAQs

What cc bikes is this throttle compatible with?

This Apico throttle is designed for 125cc and larger European and Japanese 2-stroke off-road MX and Enduro bikes.

What does '1.9mm quickness' mean?

The 1.9mm quickness rating indicates that the throttle opens rapidly. A lower millimeter value means a faster throttle response, requiring less twist to reach full throttle.

What is the stroke of the throttle?

The stroke is 50mm, which refers to the total distance the throttle cable is pulled when the throttle is opened fully.

Does it come with a throttle cable?

This product is for the throttle assembly only and does not include a throttle cable. You will need to use your existing cable or purchase one separately.

How do I clean the throttle assembly?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the cable pulley and housing are free of dirt and debris to maintain smooth operation. Avoid using harsh solvents.

Will this fit my specific bike model?

It is compatible with most European and Japanese 2-stroke MX and Enduro bikes from 125cc upwards due to its two included fittings. However, always check your motorcycle's specifications or consult a mechanic if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Throttle feels stiff or sticky.

Check throttle cable for kinks or damage. Ensure the cable is properly seated in the pulley and that the pulley spins freely. Clean the cable and pulley mechanism. Inspect the handlebar grip for any interference.

Throttle does not return to idle.

Verify that the throttle cable is not snagged or binding. Ensure the handlebar grip is not rubbing against the throttle housing. Check that the cable is correctly routed and not catching on any frame components. Adjust cable tension if too tight.

Throttle opening is too fast/slow.

This throttle has a fixed quickness. If it feels too sensitive, you may need to adjust your riding technique or consider a throttle with a different stroke/quickness rating. If it feels too slow, ensure the cable is correctly installed and fully engaging the pulley.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced throttle response for quicker acceleration.
  • Smooth operation due to bearing-equipped pulley.
  • Durable construction with reinforced aluminum housing.
  • Wide compatibility with various European and Japanese 2-stroke bikes.
  • Reduces rider fatigue with a smoother feel.

Cons

  • The quick-opening design may require a learning curve.
  • Plastic pulley wheel could be less durable than metal alternatives in extreme conditions.
  • Specific stroke length may not suit all riding styles without adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This throttle is designed to fit most European and Japanese 2-stroke off-road MX and Enduro bikes from 125cc upwards. It comes with two distinct fittings to accommodate different cable types.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the bike is turned off and the battery is disconnected if necessary.
  2. Remove the old throttle assembly from the handlebar.
  3. Select the appropriate fitting for your throttle cable and attach it to the new Apico throttle.
  4. Route the throttle cable through the pulley mechanism on the new throttle.
  5. Mount the new throttle assembly onto the handlebar, ensuring proper positioning.
  6. Adjust cable tension according to your motorcycle's service manual.
  7. Test for smooth operation and full throttle return before riding.

Care:

Regular cleaning of the throttle sleeve and pulley mechanism is recommended, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Periodically check the throttle cable for wear and ensure the pulley spins freely. Lubrication of the cable and pulley may be beneficial for maintaining optimal smoothness.
