Throttle cables are crucial components that enable the rider to operate the throttle valves on the carburettor or fuel injection system. They consist of a flexible steel cable that runs from the throttle grip on the handlebars to the throttle mechanism on the engine.
By operating the throttle grip, the throttle cable is pulled or pushed, which opens or closes the throttle valves. This regulates the amount of air and fuel that enters the engine and thus influences the power and speed of the motorbike.
The throttle cables must be checked regularly for wear or excessive stretch. It is important that they function smoothly and do not have any delays or blockages to ensure fast and precise throttle response.
If necessary, the throttle cables should be serviced or replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. It is advisable to use high-quality throttle cables to ensure reliable and safe operation of the throttle mechanism.
