Longer Throttle Cable for 06 -07 bikes
I'm in the process of trying to fit a larger tank, a TM36 and higher bars into 2007 KLX. Nothing new there, has been done many time before.
And as the ones before me have noticed, at some point the stock throttle cables become too short.
Motion Pro can make custom length cables but they need measurements of the stock cable. I don't feel like ripping mine out just to measure it.
Does anyone happen to have a spare stock 2006-07 throttle pull cable at hand they could measure?
The annoying thing is that MP has already in the past made longer throttle cables for us but for "cable with low sales volume" they don't save the measurements. Meaning every time we order these cables they need the same measurements.

The really goofy part is that they don't keep the measurements for custom cables they've made before.

I don't feel the love to take the tank off (yet again) just to measure the stock cable.

OK sorry I mis-read another post on here that made me think they had the stockers on the shelf. Hey ,, when the guy at Motion pro asks you "how long you want it", act dumb and say ....Uh well..... I want it quite a while, I'm putting it on my motorcycle, and I want to leave it there.

Just got off the phone (again) with guys at MotionPro.
To reiterate, they don't keep the 2006 - 2007 KLX throttle cable specs in file, so every time someone needs a custom cable that some must either submit detailed specs of the stock cable or send them a stock to measure.
I measured the stock and made them a drawing of it. To save the next guy the trouble of pulling the old cable out and draw it up, here's what I gave them.
Feel free to reuse. If you want the original Word doc just send me a PM with your email address.
