Help me??
Hey all..
Does anyone have some old 1990-1994 XT600E (I dunno the part number of the 1995-2003 is the same) throttle cables that are worn or even broken that would be able to send it to me? I'll pay for the shipping!
I want to try n make some throttle cables to work with my new carb since my 1990 XT6E throttle cables are a very tight fit...probably too tight..
The part of the cables that I really need is: take a look at the picture
As for the rest I need make it myself...

Check ebay there was a seller there, for like $35US he was selling NOS.
I bought a set only to find that they will not fit the XT 550.
I improvised and replaced the throttle assembly with a Domino 1/4 turn I had from another project.
I went to a single pull cable, and modified the handlebar end by trimming back the plastic housing till I got the cable length I needed. Its still almost to short but its working fine.
Now I have a spare to to hack up when I wear the one out.

hey there..
I asked for old ones because I actually have to cut the cables as I just need those little parts (actually just the left one)... the cable needs to "grow" at least about 5 inches so I can route it elsewhere besides under the fuel tank..
