R1-Z Throttle Cable

[looey]

Anyone one here familiar with the Yamaha R1-Z ?.

I need to replace the throttle cable on ours in the not too distant future (well only the top single cable section if I possible) and can't find anywhere that can supply one.

I've done some research and cross referencing and the only one I can see that might be the same is the TZR250 2MA.

Does anyone know if that one is identical, or know where I could get a cable to fit the R1-Z ?.

Even if I could find a Yamaha cable that shares the same top section, then I'd be happy to buy one of those and swop the top section onto ours at the splitter box ?.

Any ideas anyone ?.

Hi, do you know the part number already? 3xc-26302-10 so looks specific to the model, I'd go for TZR or either TDR (prob a bit longer)
have you tried venhill or thought about making your own, the connector box looks different to other bikes I've seen.

Yeah know the part number as I have the parts catalogue for the R1-Z.

The TDR has a different top end where it goes into the switchgear I think.

The TZR250 one looks identical (there's a very good picture of a genuine cable assy on Yambits site)

I'm going to ring Venhill on Monday to ask if I took just the top section to them, if they could rebuld it for me.

Would be nice to get hold of a TZR250 cable though to get them both apart to compare.

I find it hard to believe that the top section of the R1-Z throttle cable was a one-off Yamaha made just for the R1-Z ?.

Fitted a genuine yam TZR250 2MA cable to my bike , fits perfect .

Nice one thanks, just as I thought

Do you know if it's easy to get them apart at the splitter and just change the top section ?.

My local shop will make a new cable , I just bring out the old one and they fit new cable into the old outer sleeve, they have even fixed up the outer sleeve on my throttle cable for me
