Motion Pro 05-0285 Black Vinyl Pull Throttle Cable — 2002-2018 Yamaha YZ85

Motion Pro — Smooth Throttle Response, Compressionless Housing, and OEM-Exceeding Durability

Eliminate throttle lag and stickiness with the Motion Pro 05-0285 Black Vinyl Pull Throttle Cable. Specifically engineered for the 2002-2018 Yamaha YZ85, this cable is designed to provide a crisp, responsive feel that meets or exceeds original equipment standards. Whether you are racing at the local track or hitting the trails, a reliable throttle cable is essential for safety and precision control on a high-revving 2-stroke.

Motion Pro utilizes advanced engineering by winding the wires in the outer casing lengthwise (longitudinally) rather than in a traditional spiral. This "compressionless" design ensures that your throttle input is direct, eliminating the spongy feel often associated with inferior cables. Additionally, the interior features a POM (Polyoxymethylene) sleeve, which provides an ultra-low friction surface for the inner wire to slide against, resulting in a smooth pull and significantly longer operational life.

• Compressionless Housing: Longitudinally wound wires eliminate housing compression for a more direct throttle feel.
• Smooth Operation: Inner POM sleeve reduces friction, ensuring a light pull and preventing cable binding.
• Factory Quality Fit: Precisely measured with a 37-1/2" housing length to match the 2002-2018 YZ85 factory routing.
• Durable Vinyl Casing: Black vinyl outer wrap provides excellent protection against the elements and mechanical abrasion.
• Direct OEM Replacement: Engineered as a "pull" style cable that installs seamlessly into the stock throttle housing and carburetor.

Moto-House MX Pro Tip:

A frayed or dry throttle cable is a serious safety hazard. When installing your new Motion Pro 05-0285 cable, verify that your throttle tube is clean and free of old grease or sand. While the POM sleeve is designed to be low-friction, a light drop of cable lubricant can help prevent moisture from entering the housing. Always check your throttle "snap-back" at full steering lock (both left and right) to ensure the cable isn't being pinched or pulled tight by the frame or triple clamps.

FAQ Questions

Q) Does this cable come pre-lubricated?
A) The POM sleeve provides a very smooth surface, but we generally recommend a light application of cable-specific lubricant during installation to keep moisture out.

Q) Will this fit the 2022+ YZ85 models?
A) No, this specific part number is designed for the 2002-2018 chassis. Yamaha made updates to the throttle assembly and bodywork on newer models that require a different cable.
