My tecate motion pro cable required max adjustment along with my kx250. I put an oem on my 02 kx and it worked like a champ. But, the throttle cables have been great. I have a nos oem 250r cable I have to find that I'll measure.
    X2.....did the 89 upgrade and had issue after issue with adjustment...ending up going through 2 motion pro cables. Then I tried the OEM cable and voila, problem solved. When I compared the two cables, the OEM was 1/4 inch longer on one of the motion pros and 3/8ths than the other. Motion pro clutch cables are junk IMO. Never had a problem with motion pro throttle cables or motion pro anything else for that matter.

    My cable showed up from the Netherlands today. The Oem cable is infact different than the motion pro which claims to be an exact replica of the Oem cable. The inner cable is shorter, which is what I needed. The other eBay "oem" cable I bought was not Oem after all. I have an acceptable amount of adjustment left with the Oem cable now.

    Did you buy the NOS cable I found for you on the cmsnl.com site?
