Good To Know

Q: Should these cables be lubricated before installation? A: Yes, applying a light cable lubricant prior to routing ensures the smoothest possible operation and extends service life. Avoid heavy grease which can attract dirt.

Q: Why is dual-cable push-pull routing used? A: The dual-cable system uses one cable to pull the throttle open and a second to force it closed, providing a critical safety backup if the return spring fails.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
