Mine still works but the insides are getting wrn down to where i'll need a new one soon. Any suggestions? I've been eyeballing the 2001 yz 125. Looks almost like it. Thanks for your help guys

I bought a universal one from a local shop. Works great.

Worn down?

are you properly lubricating the throttle sleeve, bar and cable.
grab a good cable lube like "Cable Life" and cable luber tool and keep the new throttle clean and well lubed.
They should last the lifetime of the bike....

I can tell from the wiggly plastic housing and "threadlike" cable that these cheap china bikes do not have the throttle of a "mainstream" bike.
I like the idea of an aftermarket or honda t.c. it should last until you grind it into the dirt anyways. :wink:

I want to say that the throttle assembly I used was a parts unlimited product. It came with the cable and was adjustable.

I used this on my lifanuki project.

Price was about $20 I think.
