Tri z throttle cable ?'s

[wanta86r]

I just bought an 85 z and i am having trouble with the throttle cable. In all parts diagrams i have found there are supposed to be two cables and a part that connects them. Mine came with a single cable from the throttle straight to the carb. Is there a single replacement cable that will work, or do i need to buy the two cables and the other missing parts to make them work? If anyone has a pics they could post of where and how the two cables meet that would be great. I have an oem yamaha mannual, but there isnt a single picture of how it is supposed to be- thanks guys

I have a single cable twist grip on my tri-z. It's an EMGO set-up. In my T.R. catolog they don't list one for the tri-z but mine fits.

I hear you can use a 250r cable. You are correct the OEM has two with a thumb assist to help eliminate the thumb fatigue.... you can have one made if you want...

85's had 2 piece
86's were 1 piece. They 86 will work on the 85 without a problem. AThe one piece is actually preferred because of eliminating that little box.

You sure the 86 cable works? I bought one for my 85 and couldn't get it to work. Can't remember if the carb end or the throttle end wouldnt work. I had to sell mine.

You must have the 86 thumb setup, the thread reciever. Other Yamaha thumbers will work, like the Warrior, or the Banshee. I believe some even use 250r's....

can someone confirm this... where is Raffa when you need him?

ya 250r cable works good!! but the stock throttle wont do unless threded,Witch is easly done!!
I got a 250r throttle on my 85, A warrior throttle on my dragbike and my mx has a stock one threded and all have a 250r cable
*The top of the cap has to have the 45 stock elbow removed and a end like on the keihn carbs (I can take some pics if needed)

the 85 tri z is a two pice witch ya need the little box and a stock throttle
the 86 tri z is a one pice

[wanta86r]

that would be great man. so will the 86 tri z cable work? i was also wondering if it is possible to run the machine without an coolant overflow bottle?

[Bryan Raffa]

yes it will. you will need to thred the throttle or get another one
yes you can run it but i would check the fluid everytime before you ride it, If it gets low it has no where to regain it from.

[wanta86r]

So im a little confused. What single cable can i use that would be a direct replacement for my 85 with stock carb and 85 thumb throttle?

[wanta86r]

Raffa do you have any idea where i can get both upper and lower chain rollers? And where do you buy oem parts?
