Great video! You make it clear and easy to understand. Some other videos about changing a throttle tube had me wondering what the heck I was getting into. I bought a Gas Gas TXT 300 trials bike and I'm not a young man anymore. I'm 59 and recovering from throat cancer surgery. I bought a Domino slow action throttle tube assembly. The bike came stock with the quarter turn throttle like your bike had. This slow action throttle is close to half a turn to full throttle. Most people probably wouldn't like it but I think it will tame this 300 down a bit especially if I grab a handful of throttle unintentionally. It might keep me out of trouble. Thanks for a very easy to understand video K Brad😊

Glad to see someone making sure we get the right parts the first time that's guaranteed to fit the Z125 ... And a install video as well .

Thank you for the kind words. In my line of work I see the consequences of "close enough" parts on a regular basis. Trying to make things as error resistant as possible for all the fellow riders.

Thank you so much, I’m new to bikes and needed this step by step really bad

I just got my first bike, '78 CB750, Been looking for a good short video for the throttle tube/housing, ik it's simple but I'm glad I found a good video to use as a reference

I’m super a beginner. I have an electric start so I have toe cables coming into my housing. I ordered a set of grips and cables but it’s the wrong housing. Once I get the new one in, do I need to keep anything specific in mind when disconnecting the starter cable?

Thanks

Hello mates, i have a honda 125 cbf 😅. Im changing the throttle tube and grips, ive got the housing off and the old throttle tube off. Any tips on how to get both cables back into the new tube?

The thing i am most scared about is how to install the cable back to the cam, i have a 4 stroke 250 sx-f so it has 2 throttle cables

Is that a klx110 throttle tube?

This does not work on 87 Goldwing Not enough adjustment. Now I’m hunting for the solution for that

Ty

Liknks to the parts please?

My throttle rolls forward about a 1.2 inches. Any tips on why this is? Do I need to buy new throttle switches? (the part that the tube is held by)

No, the ZX6 has two throttle cables and the small bikes only have one.

I'm having trouble putting a throttle cable on my 2003 Kawasaki 110, the part of the cable that needs to thread into the housing is too small I have bought three different ones that say it fits my bike any ideas?

Very common problem. Grab the head of them with vice grips and twist them out. Take it to your local bolt supply store and match it up with a stainless steel (or at least zinc plated) Allen head bolt.

Can't you just super glue the grip?? That's what I've been told to do.

Yes, you sure can. A proper glue wrecks your grips if you have to take them off. I agree that it's not often, but it happens enough and me being a perpetual tinkerer I don't want to have to buy new grips every time. Super glue, contact cement, gorilla glue all have their advantages and disadvantages. To each their own. There is a new system I've been testing regarding a mix of grip tape and tie wire. Vid will be out this summer and it also explains the "air compressor trick".
