1988 Venture Royale Throttle Cable

[jmueske]

Hi all, in July I rode through Bear Tooth Pass, AMAZING!  Literally the day I got back home to Minnesota, my throttle cable broke!  Whew, that was lucky.

My local repair guy found the p/n on the oem diagram, it lists "41V-26312-00-00 Cable 2 (pull cable)". He ordered a new cable from Ebay with this p/n, but now that he's doing the repair, he found the cable doesn't come with the adjuster elbow piece (photo attached). And the new cable's terminator doesn't fit through the old adjuster elbow; because the terminator is too large to fit through. We can't put it together with what we have.

Cable 1 (push) is still available from Yamaha, but Cable 2 (pull) isn't. I don't find the right cable with a web search. Does anyone know where to get this cable with the adjuster piece like the OEM diagram shows??

Hi John,  He is one on ebay that claims to be open but unused and has all you want. https://www.ebay.com/p/1322895779, if that doesnt work and you dont mind getting dirty, Sport Wheel in Jordan Minnesota have a number of used Ventures on site and you could remove the needed cable your self and maybe cable 1 as insurance also. They have a number of parts on the bikes and they are 83-93 Ventures. Sport Wheel is on Hwy 169 between Jordan and Shakopee Minn.  https://www.sportwheel.com/

Let me know if you have any question.

Hi Rick, many thanks for the info on Sport Wheel, I'm definitely gonna have to check this place out!

The eBay link shows the wrong cable for my bike; while the handlebar end looks correct, it doesn't have this metal piece on carb end. I'm wondering if we have the wrong p/n?

It needs the 2 ends shown in the pics attached. If anyone can help me out with p/n I appreciate it!  It's a 1988 Venture Royal 1300. See all pics attached.

Hi John, so you are looking for the cable that attaches to the carbs then. Be aware the cables from the handle bars dont directly connect to the carbs but connect to a Throttle cable housing. This housing is where the two cables from the handle bars connect and the two cables from the carbs connect and the cruise control cable connect.  check out this link..  https://www.partshark.com/oemparts/a/yam/50042d37f8700209bc789f1e/handlebar-cable   items 21 - 29 are the throttle cable housing..  

So if you are looking for the cables that connect to the carbs directly, check out this link.. https://www.partshark.com/oemparts/a/yam/50042d30f8700209bc789f02/carburetor-california-model

Dont mind the california model carb and the non calif doesnt have an image..   but the part you are looking for is item 59 or 60.. and the good news is that yamaha is listing them as available.  Personally if I was replacing one I would do both since the replacing is the hard part as you need to remove the left side fairing to access them cable housing. 

If you havent, down load the service manual as it will assist you in doing this if you never have done it before. go to here to down load it..  https://www.venturerider.org/manuals/1986-1993 Yamaha Venture Service Manual.pdf

Check out page 3-83 in the service manual for how to install the cables correctly.

I personally use Partshark.com to buy most of the my factory parts as they have a great price on them. 

let me know if you have any questions. 

Good luck..
