Jonny Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Before I send Venhill Cables 60 quid, does anyone know an off-the-shelf throttle cable that fits the EFE but is about an inch longer? GSXR cables are different at the throttle end and GS cables are different at the carb end. Thanks, Jonny Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 How long do you need it to be ? Quote Link to comment

Only about an inch - the revs climb when I turn the bars left, so not much longer at all. I did have it routed so it worked but I can't make that happen now. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Still a Venhill Product but not £60 ! . . . . . https://motorcyclepartswarehouse.co.uk/venhill-universal-1-35m-single-throttle-cable-kit-black.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1bqZBhDXARIsANTjCPJ75w02sepE3wqixRHyHOjUGY0qC7Vo2raasZJdNxHMiS0fHnrQYBsaAlZUEALw_wcB Its a little bit under 4' 6" in old money - not sure how that compares to what you need?

It's the size of the plastic screw in thread that will define whether it could work or not Quote Link to comment

So need one that it 39 1/2 or 40. That is the length of the cable not the sheath. The length of the sheath is 32 1/2 inches Edited September 24, 2022 by Jonny Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Right. I'll send you a PM 1 Quote Link to comment

Joseph Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) But since none of them are 1m long, does it answer the question ? Fwiw the cable you used was probably off a W GSXR Edited September 25, 2022 by Joseph Quote Link to comment

Joseph Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 EF is screw in, like any GSX GSXR oil cooled is push in and screw held plate Quote Link to comment

Jonny Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 I'm going to try a GSXR1100W return cable then and see if that works - only a tenner on Eblag. Quote Link to comment
Tony Nitrous Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) I was a bit obsessed with fitting Renthal 789’s to my bikes for a while. Often needing new cables. I never had one made. My standard method was to take the old cables into a few bike shops and ask for “same ends but xx inches longer”. I’ve ended up with cables from naked road bikes, dirt bikes, cruisers etc, but always something that was off the shelf and not custom made. How helpful your local stores spares counter is makes a huge difference. Edited September 26, 2022 by Tony Nitrous 1 Quote Link to comment

Okay - I can now confirm that the push cable from an 1100WN-WS is actually an inch shorter than the EFE one! 1 Quote Link to comment
