I need to buy an F2 throttle tube. Norbo doesn't seem to list them at all (unless I couldn't see them for looking) ?. I know Yambits is a swear word on here (mainly for seals I know  ) but has anyone tried their pattern F2 throttle tube ?. Cheers |

Good call Norbo, anyone know how long the F2 tube should measure ?, or can measure one for us ?. Is the F2 tube longer than the LC2/31k does nyone know ?. I currently have an 31K/LC2 throttle tube in an F2 switchgear and it's impossible to get the slack out of the cable  . |

I'm sure it's the same length as the lc2 as they use the same grips.
It's the nipple position that's different

or do what I do and just shorten the cable by removing the throttle tube end nipple and solder a new one one, iirc you need to remove approx 10mm including the size of the nipple, so its baout 5mm of cable +mthe nipple

Cut a groove in the tube for the cable so it reaches the next hole no more slack
ps it was a nos f2 tube and I cut it to fit my lc grips

Hi Looey Hope you and Mrs Looey are well  Pretty sure this is F2 - it came off an F2 anyway;  20171019_175928 by David Miller, on Flickr The bar end part of the tube is a bit rough but I think this is the original length as far as I can tell. Dusty |

Cheers for that Mr Dusty I'll get mine off in the next few days (doing front calipers at mo) and measure up, see if I can modify it like has been suggested to make it work |

I guess the LC2 version of the cable would be a touch long due to the higher bars so that wouldnt be a fix. Its pretty sad that in the modern world someone cant run up a bunch of these really, its not a racket science part lol. In the meantime I'll keep looking, I dont have one to modify sadly or Id go that route. I could buy 2 yambits ones and cut and weld on the missing 10cm i guess lol

The problem I have is that I've got a 31k throttle tube in an F2 housing/switchgear, so god knows what that combination does.
I've got 31k carbs and a Norbo Jap quality throttle cable, so pretty sure the tube is the problem.
I made a couple of spacers either end of the top cable for now and got rid of the excess free play but next week I'll see if I can modify the 31K tube, if not, I'll order an F2 tube from Yambits and see if that sorts it.
I'll let you know Jon
