Venhill U01-4-101-BK Universal Motorcycle Throttle Cable Kit - 5mm OD

A Must-Have for Motorcycle EnthusiastsI recently purchased the Venhill U01-4-101-BK Universal Motorcycle Throttle Cable Kit for my custom motorcycle project, and I must say, this kit has exceeded all my expectations. From its robust build quality to its universal fitting capabilities, here’s my comprehensive review:**Build Quality and Materials (5/5):** The first thing that struck me about the Venhill throttle cable kit was the superior build quality. The 5mm OD (outer diameter) housing is both durable and flexible, providing a perfect balance between strength and ease of installation. The materials used, especially the Teflon-lined housing, ensure smooth operation and longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements.**Ease of Installation (4.5/5):** This kit is a godsend for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. With its universal design, it fits a wide range of motorcycles, which significantly reduces the hassle of finding model-specific parts. The included instructions were clear and concise, making the installation process straightforward. However, beginners might need a bit more time to familiarize themselves with the setup.**Performance (5/5):** Performance-wise, the Venhill throttle cable kit is a game-changer. The responsiveness of the throttle improved noticeably after installation. The smooth glide of the cable within its housing translates into a more precise and controlled acceleration, providing an enhanced riding experience.**Value for Money (4.5/5):** Considering the quality, performance improvement, and the universal applicability of this kit, it offers great value for money. While it may be slightly pricier than some other options on the market, the durability and smooth performance it provides make it a worthwhile investment for any serious rider.**Customer Service (5/5):** I had a few questions regarding the installation on a specific motorcycle model, and Venhill’s customer service was exemplary. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful, ensuring I had all the information I needed for a successful installation.**Overall (4.8/5):** The Venhill U01-4-101-BK Universal Motorcycle Throttle Cable Kit is a top-notch product that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade or repair their motorcycle throttle system. Its quality, ease of use, and the noticeable improvement in performance make it a standout choice. Whether you’re a seasoned mechanic or a motorcycle enthusiast working on your first project, this throttle cable kit will not disappoint.

I bought it because it was cheaper than the universal clutch kit and took the chance to see if parts would fit. Worked out nicely. I have an 06 Honda Shadow Bobber and installed 14” apes so the clutch cable wouldn’t reach. Throttle cable barely reaches, so I’m buying this kit again to redo that cable. The kit has plenty of parts for a universal application. I reused the nylon sleeve for the small barrel end from my stock cable and slid that on with the brass barrel end from the kit. I also reused the stock bolt piece that the cable goes into for tension because it was bigger and already black. Quick install. Soldering was a breeze. Crimped the other end. I spent more time routing the cable and finding pinch points. I saved the excess parts. Never know when you’ll need something in a bind. Great kit!

I bought this kit to fox a 2002 Triumph clutch cable. Worked very well. A nice selection of parts. The missing star is for two reasons, 1. not enough larger round nipples, they are all barrel except for two tiny ones. 2. It references solderless nipples which are not included.Fix those things and this would be the perfect kit.I was able to affect my repair well despite these omissions.

great kit, a must have

I bought this cable being kind of skeptical since i've never made, repaired or even worked on a cable before. I tried my luck and put my skills to the test and with a few trials and errors, doing and redoing, i was able to make this work flawlessly! The only downside to this is they only include one nut to the adjustment portions when two is needed other than that it pretty much had everything i needed, although i did have to do some custom work to make some parts fit, it came out great! i have never soldered before and this was extremely easy to do after some errors, Just make sure you leave enough slack to make mistakes and still have room to cut and redo. I recommend 60/40 solder as it seeps in and locks the cables! Definitely purchasing another one to build and have as a back up! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND !

Sometimes you just can’t buy OEM, I’m doing a raptor 660 engine swap with a different motor and this kit was perfect. I first made a throttle cable with bicycle cable which is the same diameter galvanized cable as in this kit. Throttle was hard to turn and would stick nearly wide open. In the description of this kit it notes that the cable is a 7x7 strand and after doing some research I found that this type strand it is more flexible because of the way it is constructed. Watched youtube videos on how to solder cable ends and it worked the first time. Placed a 1.5 x .5 metal lid in a vise, used a torch to heat underside of lid and melt solder, slid cable thru cable end then slightly frayed cable end with a small screw driver, dipped cable end in acetone to clean, after drying I melted some flux, dipped the cable end in it, then dipped it in and out of the lid full hot solder. Clamped the cable end in vise and pulled very hard on cable and it is very secure. Also I only had to attach one cable end because one end of kit cable had a small cable end already attached to it and I was able to utilize one of the cable ends in kit package to slide onto cable. The twist grip throttle is working as good or better than OEM. Very happy with this kit. Nice when something works easy.

I had a bunch of issues getting the throttle to work on a atv I just bought. Looks like someone struggled to get anything working before me. I got it going only to have the existing cable frey and brake.Well I cut and installed this in under 10 minutes. And its working great!

This was the ticket for my 1980 Suzuki RS 250 that I'm bringing back to life. For some reason the original throttle cable didn't work well with the replacement carb. A new cable didn't work much better. Once I dove into cable length and cable cover length, things started making sense. I was able to tailor this to my exact needs. My wife has one of those nice little butane torches for jewelry making and that was perfect for the soldering work.If you've never done this sort of thing, watch some youtube vids and use the extras in the kit to practice a few times. I will purchase again whenever I need to make a cable! Well done!!! 5 Stars!!!!!

Great kit for making cables

There were enough parts to make a cable.....quite light tho........

There are enough pieces to make throttle cable, but everything is pretty light and breaks easily. The ends for cable cover don't stay in place after light crimping and break under more pressure. The screw in ends to keep cable from going into handle were both same size and too small. Impossible to Sauder the ends on even though I have had alot of experience with saudering. Ended up putting the whole thing together with JB Weld and that seems to work, but not as described.
