Throttles
« on: May 14, 2013, 09:25:47 pm »
    What does everyone recomend for a replacement throttle kit for my 81 YZ250? All 3 of the bikes I picked up have some sort of aftermaket throttle with them but are all in a bad state. Any input would be appreciated

Cheers, Chris

Original Gunnar Gasser from John Tittman in Brisbane. Don't what ever you do buy a Chinese replica! Just ask Firko who no doubt will tell you about his experience. J

I use a late model YZ125 throttle assembly on my 250 G and other bikes, fairly cheap and easily replaced.  Peter.

Do you not like the OEM "whirlpool" style throttle or unable to find one?

Why work so hard turning a throttle. I have enough trouble hanging on as you know.  :)

Ha Ha the colour has gone but still can`t sit on a bike, just sitting on a chair is bad enough. I will just be helping out on the day again.   Peter.

I believe all the throttle housings have stayed the same from the 1990 models thru to current, the alloy housing directs the cable to the left which places the cable in behind the front number plate. Hope this helps.   Peter.

 I go with the first post. The Gunnar Gassar type throttle (whirlpool) is the way to go. If only the fact that every second bloke at a  VMX race will have one on their bike too. Linked to a Mikuni Carb via a Standard Husky throttle cable (not expensive either)

All the Yamaha YZ and IT from mid 80s on use the same throttle and cables and all the bits are availible separately . it200l 1984 will fit.Thats what i use on all my YZs.

Rummaged through my spares and found a throttle from what I believe to be from an 84 YZ125, throttle tube is broke and the cap missing but I have the housing and after going through the cables at the local shop I deal at, found an 84 YZ125 cable from motion pro that fits perfect! On the bike now and all works. I will order a new tube and cover and will be good to go!

Thread resurrection!

I run 84+ Kawasaki throttles & cables most of the time. They work well, must be durable ('cause I've ended up with so many good ones), and never seem to be a drama adapting them to whatever carb.

The original 1970s/early 80s Yamaha throttles, all shit me to tears.
