pignapper Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi guys. Yamaha sr125 throttle cable snapped. Bought new one from wemoto but seemed to be an inch short. When assembled It was if i had throttle open a quarter turn. Had it in a garage for another issue and asked mechanic to fit me another. When i got it back. Same issue. He gave me back the old one so i know it was changed. Both of us cant have got it wrong. Any ideas guys.

Moderator drewpy Posted August 18, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2016 contact wemoto, they were really helpful in getting the correct cable for my FZ. Will also send you another cable and return the other free post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pignapper Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks will give it a try. Still confused as to why 2 different cables wont fit. Is there a way of extending them. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pignapper Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Ok guys before i rip this engine down a little advice please. After new valve seals installed bike struggled to start and was VERY lumpy. After alot of fettling ive come to do timing and have checked and rechecked that im on compression stroke (4t). But when piston is at the top just after inlet valve closes, the top cam timing mark is exactly 180 deg off. Q. could i have put the top cam back in upside down. I.E. 180deg off..... Thoughts please.. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 You could have , but I doubt it would run at all . Check the electrical stuff is ok . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It is possible for the bike to "run" with a 180 degree out but it will back fire and fart instead of running properly, but as Kev say's more likely an electrical fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pignapper Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks for the advice guys. I stripped it down yesterday and rotated the cam. Put her back together and shes running far better. As soon as the rain goes away its time for a test ride. If there is anything else ill ask for more help. Thanks again.
