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 ?  :unknown: I just want to enjoy my new fun cycle !

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

cables the same for all years, im using an xjr set up on my 84 fj ,  (popcorn)
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

84 Fj1100  effie , with mods
( 88 ) Fj 1200  fairly standard , + blue spots
84 Fj1100 absolutely stock standard, now more stock , fitted with Fj12 twin system , no rusted headers for this felicity jayne

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

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!  :lol: :lol: :lol:  :hi:
