Common questions
What is the difference between a throttle cable and an idle cable?
On most Harley V-twins, the 'throttle' cable (or pull cable) is used to open the throttle, while the 'idle' cable (or push cable) is used to close the throttle and maintain proper idle speed. This product is the idle (push) cable.
How do I know if this idle cable will fit my specific Harley model?
Motion Pro designs these cables to OEM specifications for a wide range of V-twin models. To confirm precise fitment, always compare the length and end fittings to your existing idle cable. You can also cross-reference with your OEM part number or use our Shop by Bike tool.
Is special lubrication required for this cable?
While the nylon inner liner provides low-friction operation, it's always good practice to lightly lubricate any new cable during installation with a lubricant suitable for motorcycle control cables. This helps ensure maximum longevity and smoothness.
