I had some mountain bike repairs to do and V-ball practice so I finally got to it an hour ago.
The first problem is the "long" Motion Pro throttle cable. It is 4.5 inches shorter than my stock GG cable. Also, the GG cable has that nice curve at the carb junction whereas the Motion Pro is straight. |

Here is the condemning evidence...
Stock Gasser throttle cable is about 42.5 inches (when including the curve around the elbow). The new Motion Pro cable is about 37 inches. Last edited by AZRickD; 08-15-2013 at 01:14 AM. |

yep, I had the same experience. When I installed mine, I ended up using my spare Venhill cable wich is a tad longer than my OEM.
To be able to use the Keihin type cable, I made a new adjuster for the Domino throttle. My new adjuster lets the cable end go deep into the throttle housing instead of ending up outside the housing. This is nescessary as the Lectron has a longer reach from the top of the carb to the slide. The other option is, as has been discussed here previously, to cut off some of the outer shielding of the cable. I feel that my solution is a better one, as I can continue using stock cables and don't need to modify a cable every time I need a new one.

Just for giggles, I hooked the Lectron up to the Gasser's stock cable and throttle assembly.
Once the throttle pulley was screwed in, the slide was half way up. I don't feel like hacking up the GG cable. What is the proper length (and model number) for the Motion Pro cable I need? |

It's just past midnight here in Phoenix...
I installed the Lectron on the bike. Nobody told me I would have to tilt the shock back to make room for the beast. Anyway, I left the GG cable in the carb routed as normal behind the number plate. Of course, it reaches, but with not enough slack. Note the elbow that just barely clears the tank. The *only* way the Motion Pro cable would work is if I routed it KTM-style, on the rider-side of the bars and tucked in underneath the shroud. Maybe I'll buy one of those KTM throttle cable holder thingies. I don't know how the straight cable will function stuffed betwixt the carb and tank. Kinkage? Okay. So, now what.... (?) |

Just grab the lathe and make a new adjuster...

You guys need to call Kevin about the cable because mine came with a bend and fit perfect. They must have sent you the wrong one.

Yes, you are right. But since I am living at the other side of the pond (Norway), shipping cables back and forth is just too slow and expensive to be worth while. Hence I solved it locally.
