Moturo Throttle Cable for Yamaha XS 400, XS 750, XS 850 and XS 1100 (77-82)

The Moturo throttle cable for your Yamaha XS 400, XS 750, XS 850 and XS 1100 (MY 77-82) — the cable most likely to snap after decades and cause a stuck throttle. OE dimensions, ready for installation.

The throttle cable connects the twist grip to the carburetor and precisely transfers throttle input to the butterfly valves. Dimensions match the original cable; ferrules and nipples fit precisely into the twist grip and carburetor mount. A high-quality replacement for snapped or stretched original cables, without sticking or snagging at the twist grip.

Replacement takes about half an hour with an open-ended wrench for the lock nut and a drop of chain grease for lubrication before installation. Adjust the free play at the twist grip according to the XS workshop manual.
