On race morning, having just installed Flexx Bars, the throttle cable had gotten snagged and went to redline (or close to it) when I cold started it. Since I had to figure out the problem, I didn't kill it until I found where the cable was snagged (maybe 20 sec). It ran fine during the race but I know this couldn't have been good for it. Running FUCHS Esther based premix oil at 40:1. Should I worry?
EC 300 redlined when I cold started it-did I hurt it?
- Thread starter Bark3rd
- Start date
The cable continued to snag during the first test, I think it made me faster!
I ended up snagging some baling wire from a check worker and wired it up at the throttle-but I need a longer cable.
Looking at the 2.5" longer on Go Fasters has but I really want this length in the T3 which has the threaded ends. I've seen some posts on here about guys asking MP to make a custom T3, not sure if anyone has had any luck .

I'm just using a ktm T3 cable. Can't remember the length but fits up well. Still just connecting a Keihin carb and a Domino throttle. You don't need the angle join to the carb. Straight one will still fit in under the stock tank just fine.
Edit: thats on a 2010/11 model. The 2012 might need more clearance.

Are you running the cable in front or behind the bars/triple clamp.
A buddy made a holder which mounted to his bar clamps to keep the cable in front by the stabilizer post. It could give you the extra length you need. It visually looked good not silly at all.

M2, great mod and very good cable . Mine is the 10-3000 model and it's 5.3 inches longer than OEM KTM . Fits like a glove and routes in the front of the handlebars, no sweat . As I'm using the Clark thank on my 11' I had to roll the carb a lite bit on its side but so far so good.

Stupid me, never compared both . But it has a lot of adjustment free play, I'm quite happy
