throttle cable compatability question

#1 Post by 75RD350rider » Wed Aug 17, 2016 10:39 pm

Will the Canadian or Euro Spec throttle cable with oil pump cable fit a US 84 RZ throttle tube and housing ? Furthermore will this cable operate VM 30 roundslides?

I don't think it will work with the standard US carbs, but I only had to modify it slightly to go from stock 31K VM26 to PWK28's, so VM30 should be a snap. I think they were recently about $80 CDN at the dealer.

Oh, I did have to use angled adjusters on the carb tops to clear the frame...

These are the ones I used, Worked perfectly

I think I have those or similar on my VM 30s now. They came from Spec II.

This is the cable I need ?

The new throttle cable is installed and preliminary rigging is sorted. I had to remove the barrels from the adjusters and the nuts on the bottom to get enough length for the 30s. In turn this messed up the throw for the oil pump cable solved with a spacer under the barrel to get the correct orientation back. Works like a champ. Pics will follow.

Had to take the barrel and one nut off to get the length needed for the 30s..
after that the throttle was ready to assemble and synch

The cable is just long enough and you have to hold the cap still and turn the carbs to install the cap. But it works and the one adjuster nut left locks it.

After rigging the throttle and synching it was on to the oil pump cable. The throw was off a bit so I had to space the barrel of the cable out of the hole in the side.cover with a flat washer and it rigged out perfect.
