Been out on ne bike tonight and the throttle is very heavy after riding it for a few miles, during the rebuild I did install a new pattern pull cable, carbs are very free in action although the return spring tension is quite strong.
Any ideas on how to lighten it to save me achin wrists??
All answers greatly appreciated in advance!
thanks

I have OEM ones from japan for all models £30 .
But frankley it sounds like rooting to me not the cable do you have a smooth curv . You could allways look at spraying wd40 down the cable or better still with a little time drip oil down.

Thanks OEB
Norbo, I have routed the cable as per Yamaha manual and oiled it so it reckon it must be down to cheap quality, think i will replace, are they actual Yamaha ones you sell or are they equal to OEM quality??
cheers Colin

Just to update, I bought a genuine Yam throttle pull cable and fitted it today-wot a difference! it now operates silky smooth with no jerky movements, was a tad expensive @£90 but it makes bike a lot better to ride.!
cheers colin

They are made in the same factory in japan only they are made for me not yam so they use the same moulds and cables so yes they are as yam as you will get without being in a yam bag .
