Best relacement throttle cable for RN?

[Crab]

Can I use an SXR/SXI cable to fit my Xmetal throttle without using an adapter? Or are they the wrong length?

The SXR/SXI cables still require the throttle cable adapter.

I've been told, by Matt_E I think, that the older SX cables have the wider threaded area, thus do not need the throttle adapter... I have purchased a cable, but have not installed it yet.

On your carb side you'll have to open up the bracket hole to accept the larger diameter.

Now length, I have heard they are a little longer than the RN, more like a SN, but am not certain.

Are you running a front pull or rear pull throttle butterfly? Single or dual carbs?

Stock duals, front pull. Parker yamaha has 95sxi cables for $25 (wsm).

older sx cables "supposedly work" I am going to find this out as well. I think the sx cable is only a 22 or 25 dollar part at the dealer as well, and they do not require an adapter.

If you decide to go with WSM LMK I can get you the brother inlaw price ,I am a dealer.

I used a kawi throttle cable on my SJ and it does not fit without making a new bracket. The cable is too long and the stock bracket will not take out all of the slack. The picture shows what you will have to do.

I would think You could also use a different throttle drum to take up the slack and still use the stock bracket.

What kawi ski ski that cable for?
I used a 1993 750sx cable with no mods other than grinding out the Yam cable holder at the carb. The kawi cable is vastly superior to the Yamaha cable and 1/2 the price. :bigok:
Thanks for the heads up to Matt_E

Bingo.

93 750SX cable costs $30-ish new and is a MUCH better quality than the Yamaha cable.

In order for this to work, you need the following:
1. A finger throttle without adapter, so that the thicker Kawi barrel fits
2. Possibly an aftermarket throttle drum on the carb to get the pull right (It may work with stock, I've never tried)
3. You may need to enlarge the hole in the stock cable bracket by the carbs.

On #3: I have used the aftermarket diaphragm-mounted bracket without modfications.
On my current engine, I am using a R&D manifold. I had to enlarge the hole in the bracket mount.

Heck yes... I measured and examined my cable I purchased but have yet to install yesterday, and that sucker is nice. The cable is like 2x as thick as a stock SJ cable, and even comes with a protective sheath that runs like half the length of the entire cable.

BTW the cable I purchased was 87" long from the tip of the throttle end to the beginning of the metal elbow on the carb side.

I have one setup on a 61x and it fits perfect...WIll never use a yamaha cable again!

just had to widen the channel in the mounting bracket and ditch the adaptor at the throttle

 

[BruceSki]

damn if i knew this was the case i would've kept that cable around as a spare.


send it back lol....







nah im just kidding, don't want to dirk you around or anything.


if you could post some pics close up near the carb when you put it on though that would be cool ox.

I use throttle cables for a 1992 Kawasaki 750sx. By doing so-it requires no cable adaptor at the trigger and is long enuf for a rear facing throttle wheel on the carbs.

 

[Matt_E]

Crammit turned me onto that.

I have them on both my RN and just got 2 more for him for his new builds about to begin.

 

[Matt_E]

I chuckle whenever I see used OEM SJ cables go for more than what a new Kawi cable costs. :biggrin:

Stock duals, front pull. Parker yamaha has 95sxi cables for $25 (wsm).

DGY has the OEM Kawi cable for $24.88.

Who?

 

[dbrutherford]

Use either a 650 SX or a 750 SX throttle cable.

Do not get an SXi/SXi pro/SXR cable.

I am with Wedo if you have extra slack, use a throttle wheel/drum.





And to think all you guys are constantly putting down kawasakis.


I think Gil hit the nail on the head the day he told me Kawasaki and Yamaha needed to join efforts and make one unified stand up with the best mods from each.
