Im looking for a throttle cable with about a 45° elbow, for my Keihin 36 PWK to thumb throttle. My large IMS gas tank does not give me a lot of room and has given me a kink in my cable!
Looking for Throttle Cable with 45° elbow?
- Thread starter 79 bronco
- Start date
Most of the throttle cable on ebay are listed for this atv or that atv, and they dont list the length or what kind of end is on it. You cant even go by the pic because its not even the right pic most of the time.
I can get a Mikuni 45º cable adjuster, but will that fit my Keihin and cable? http://www.jetsrus.com/individual_parts/002_064_su.html
yeah,they should know.I have made stuff from 1 machine work on another many times.But I had all the stuff on hand.
same exact fitting i bought /\ it does indeed screw into our keihin 34/35/36's
I will GIVE you this whole set-up i have, 1 season old.
fits my +2 stem, same bars as you to 34 pj with room to spare
it's the set-up gumjob listed...raptor250 braided ss cable to that mikuni 45 degree fitting.
IMO it sucks donkey nads. the 45 degree fitting screws to the cap w/ a jam nut and the cable screws into it locking everything together
that requires taking the carb off, holding the cap and spinning the carb to unthread and remove it.
completely retarded and a royal pain in the ass. IMO
plus it is zero % easier to push the thumb throttle as claimed.
i'm going back to a standard motion pro tors removal cable, but will have them make it for me in braided ss for $65 like i should have just done in the first place.
going to get at my bike for yearly maintaince in the next couple weeks, that cable is definately getting replaced and is all yours if you want it. PM me your shipping info in the convo thread.
i was going to give the cable to the neighbor kid for his rappy and throw that 45 as far as i could, but you're welcome to expriment with it if you'd like.
btw....motion pro will make you a cable in any length/fitting configuration you can imagine:

Thanks! You just confirmed what i was wondering about with a screw in problem with the 45° elbow.
Also thanks Joe but i dont think i want to wast my time with that 45° elbow. It may be a quick cheep fix in the short run but will become a headache in the long run!
By looking at this i think Motion Pro Part # 01-0728 may work, it has a elbow carb end. But is 40" a little long? >>> http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/cables/special_performance/universal_throttle_cables/

Pm member 2smoker. He has my cable with th 45 degree end on it. He can give you the part number. I have a twist on mine with the 45 degree angle and love it. I have no problems removing the cap.
What cable is that???
My brother and i both run a twist throttle cable. Just a wrap in the throttle body housing and its exactly like a thumb length.
Its really easy to do, and doesnt affect anything.
Here is what you need

i've seen those cables, definately better than this drunken delusion i fell for.
but i want it in braided SS, which requires motion pro to custom make it
