throttle pull or push-pull???

[le_bucheron]

I bought some yzfr6 controls so I need a new throttle cable holder. I'm not sure if I should use some push-pull style or only pull???

Thanks Guys!!!

Our carbs are spring-loaded, and handle the "pull" part all by themselves. Some bikes use 2 separate cables - one for pull, and one for push. Ours are just "pull" style.

Do you think i can buy a push-pull style and use only one cable? Here a big deal on ebay for a motion pro push-pull

I guess you could. Does your bike not have the throttle tube? Or does it not fit the controls?

Hi Robin,
what do they (and what do you) mean by "push-pull"?
Control cables DON'T push, they only pull. A 2-cable twistgrip has one cable to pull the carbs open and another to pull them closed.
(Hey! Desmodromic carbs! But I digress.)
If that Motion-Pro twistgrip works 2 cables, most likely it will work with only 1 to operate spring-return carbs.
Be careful which cable though, the other one will reverse the throttle operation.
However, that particular twistgrip says it's for off-road use.
Which may mean that it has a bigger than normal cable drum diameter to give a rapid throttle opening, usually a ~1/4 turn instead of ~1/2.
You sure you want that on an XJ11?

Yeah push-pull mean for me a 2-cables... I will try the motion-pro but if you look on is web site a single cable or double cable it's really not the same shape...
