Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know this is the right cable for my bike?

Check your owner's manual or parts diagram for the OEM part number. Motion Pro lists the original equipment number on each package for easy verification.

What's the difference between this and a cheap aftermarket cable?

Motion Pro cables use OEM component dimensions and a nylon inner liner that ensures smooth, consistent throttle response without binding.

Is installation difficult?

Idle cable replacement is typically a straightforward swap — disconnect the old cable at the carb and throttle housing, route the new cable, and reconnect. Consult your service manual for your specific model.

Will this work on both Harley and Indian?

Yes — this is a universal V-twin idle cable. The color-coded header card indicates which brand uses this specific length and routing.
