throttle cable replacement

[jimmyenglish]

Hi guys, I'm replacing the pull cables on my 86. I can't seem to determine which ones are which. JP cycles seems to have a bunch as well as some nos on eBay but not sure. Are the control side cables the same? carb side too? Is looking at used sets on eBay a waste of time?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can check the parts catalog at http://yamaha-motor.com/ then hit the following: Star Motorcycles, parts and service, view parts catalog, proceed to parts catalog, and enter your bike's info. This is the OEM's catalog and so far as I know it's regularly updated with changes/deletions. Parts dealers may be deleted stock on hand but I usually start here.

In the parts book you will find cables 1 & 2 under "Handlebar Cables"...

Cables 3 & 4 under the "Carbuerator" Section.

They call the cables by numbers...

From the 84 catalog for the DKC2

 

These 2 are located from the twist throttle to the relay.

 

41V-26311-00-00

CABLE, throttle 1

41V-26312-00-00

CABLE, throttle 2

These from the relay to the carbs.

I recommend EBay and Amazon as places to check for ANY parts you need. There are several sites on the net that carry parts for Yamaha as well. Shop around don't get taken. Thanks Yamaha for making it easy to cut and paste your numbers.
