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:
- Ensure the bike is turned off and the battery is disconnected if necessary.
- Remove the old throttle assembly from the handlebar.
- Select the appropriate fitting for your throttle cable and attach it to the new Apico throttle.
- Route the throttle cable through the pulley mechanism on the new throttle.
- Mount the new throttle assembly onto the handlebar, ensuring proper positioning.
- Adjust cable tension according to your motorcycle's service manual.
- 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.
