Throttle or cable replacement ?

DreadRock · July 07, 2012, 10:36:27 AM

Well after getting my Manual for my 85 FJ1100 and fixing my coil problem found a few things the PO kind of over looked . When the tank was being put back on i found that the (#4) cable which is the pull on the carb is the same as the push is . But looking over the manual it seems to be shorter and the one on it is binding which can lead to bad thing . I 've talked to a few places about picking a new one up Speed @ sport , NW vintage , and my local go to shop but all have said they can order it but dont know when it will be in . I've also looked here in the search but have not found anything . Anyone know if (A) where i might find one (B) Is there one off a diff year FJ that works (C) Is there a full replacement that works well ?

I just want to enjoy my new fun cycle !

Get hold of Randy at RPM. I think he stocks throttle cables.

Not true. The cables on my '84 are different than the cables on my '92.

Using this: http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=5863.0

I find that '84 to'90 share the same part #'s : http://www.powersportsplus.com/parts/detail/yamaha/YP-36Y-26311-01-00.html

And the '91 to '93's share the same part #'s: http://www.powersportsplus.com/parts/detail/yamaha/YP-3XW-26302-00-00.html

Easy peesey...

Randy is not a cool dude. He's a @!#$%@%$ who makes me drool and subsequently spend a damned fortune! I go shopping for a gasket, I end up buying an oil filter conversion, a couple of spare exhaust gaskets, an extra clutch gasket because mine's starting to weep... stupid $30 part cost me $200!
