New throttle cables ?
« on: February 18, 2026, 07:09:41 AM »
Good morning all,
Can anybody tell me any good quality 500 K1 throttle cables that are available in the UK ?
There are several around but it's hard to tell which are good.

Carbs back together and fitted after much swearing 😆

I also use Wemoto for throttle & clutch.
I found it worthwhile particularly with the clutch cable to buy the right length.

Are the Wemoto Teflon lined like the OE cables?

I bought Slinkyglide cables from them which are Teflon lined I believe. Never had a problem with them.
