Motion Pro T3 throttle cable

[gasgasman]

My OEM throttle cable leaves a lot to be desired. I never could get the right amount of free play adjusted.

I took a chance and ordered a Motion Pro T3 Slidelight throttle cable for a KTM 2 stroke.
The Motion Pro cable has a built in pivot to adjust the cable and "captured" ends. They WON"T pull out of either end. No safety wire need at all.

The KTM throttle cable fitted right up 100%. The cable could be an inch shorter, but will work well for riders with tall bars.
The cable are very high quality and has some sturdy cover sleeves in the high wear areas. Action is very smooth.

The cable part # is 10-3000.

I just got the T2 for the GG from Halls, I actually wanted a longer one to route around the flex bars. Is that one longer than stock?

I have had this cable on my 2011 for a few months now. I really like it. Nice not worrying about it pulling out.

Thnx

Great info.

Crud, I just installed the motion pro extended GG specific cable. Although the action is very smooth it would be nice to not have to safety wire it

This is funny, i put one on my bike yesterday too. As Girard said easy replacement, no drama.

I saw that they did have one that is 5.5 inches longer, so I just ordered one. guess I can always use a spare

 

[gasgasman]

The extra 5.5 inches is for the KTM cable. On the KTM, it allows you to run the cable in front of the bars vs the OEM routing.

Hmmm

My 2010 does not have the same carb as pictured....wondering if this cable will work with older style carbs?

 

[roverhybrids]

So there isn't any issue with the bend in the cable at the top of the carb?
I have one of these cables I was going to swap on and wasn't sure about the bend since the stock cable has the metal tube on the end...

 

[rgranger]

well, maybe it will be longer than the one the GG too? yes/no? otherwise, I have a longer cable for the KTM - guess it pays off to have two bikes

Yes, it's the same thread pitch on both carbs.

No issues on my bike.

Hi, I am looking at ordering the 5.5" longer KTM T3 cable, but my 2011 EC300 carb doesnt have threads that I can recall. Cable just pops in.

Am I missing something? Will this cable work?

 

[gasgasman]

The the carb cap has a threaded insert that you remove(brass piece).

The Motion Pro has the threaded end made on to it that screws into the carb cap.

Fuggin A bubba.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

[gassergrant]

will this fit on a 2003 ec 300 dont trust the cable on it as the clocks slightly kink the cable and hard turn right it revs up a bit

I found the t3 has way more free play adjustment than the stock cable and due to the stock cable being (imho) about 1cm too short it was effecting idle at full adjustment. The t3 also seals better on the carb cap.

Since using the t3 I have dropped my pilot and maintain a perfect idle, I could not do this before installing the new cable.

Me happy.

100% correct!
I noticed the same thing with mine.

Anyone knows if the stock 08-11 KTM 300/250 is longer than the GG ? Not Motion Pro one but actual one from KTM.

I've been running the T3 cables for a while. Make sure you put some silicon on the rubber boot at the carb end. Otherwise the poor fit will allow dirt and water to get in.
