replacement throttle

(1/2) > >>

dirk_411:
I want to replace my throttle. I also need a new throttle cable. I searched the forum and consensus seems that OEM cables are preferred.   But what throttle is a good replacement and where is the best place to buy it? Thanks

Foxx4Beaver:
I've got a Pro Circuit aluminum throttle tube on my 500, but I don't know if you can get them for the K5 anymore.
My 250 has a Moose aluminum tube...and it works as smooth as the PC...
and yes, as far as cables go...stick with OEM.

Foxx4Beaver:
I keep the throttle "housing" and all the inner parts OEM, just the tube gets an upgrade to alloy.

Motion Pro cables have done a good job for me

Have you ever used the Motion Pro unbreakable non-aluminum one?

How do you like the aluminum ones, and do they bend in a fall?

Thanks for your input.
