Motorcycle Throttle and Choke Cables for Yamaha Virago 250

The throttle and choke cables are vital performance parts of any motorcycle, including the Yamaha Virago 250 bike model. A Virago 250s throttle cable controls how quickly you can accelerate your motorcycle and gain more speed after you brake. It does this by opening and closing valves on the carburetor of your Viragos engine, while the choke adjusts the fuel-to-air ratio inside the engine.

Although all cable types are usually sheathed in a protective sleeve on most Yamaha motorcycles, they remain somewhat exposed to the elements and debris as you ride. Because of this, some wear over time is natural and should be expected. However, that also means that you may need to replace throttle and choke cables on occasion, as they are essential to starting and stopping the motorcycle. If you find that the acceleration or brake action is sticky or somewhat unresponsive, you should replace your Yamahas cables as soon as you can in the interest of safety and performance.

You can purchase variations of several types of cables for your Yamaha Virago. Some of these cables come with extra features or accessories to give you a more convenient riding experience.

• You can buy throttle cables for a Yamaha Virago 250 that include handle grips or upper and lower throttle gas cables. Alternatively, you could purchase the upper and lower throttle cable assemblies separately as needed.
• Some cables are sold with variations on the cable ends, such as aluminum alloy, for increased durability and longevity.
• Full Yamaha cable kits are available for purchase as well. These kits come with all the wiring your Virago bike needs, including the throttle, choke, rear brake, and clutch cables.
• Accessories like a throttle lock cruise control unit are useful for keeping your speed constant and within normal limits on a long stretch of road.

Once youve purchased the cables you need to replace on your Yamaha Virago 250, youll need to install them properly to gain any performance benefits. These steps serve as a basic guide to cable installation on most models.

• Check how long each cable needs to be in order to fit on a Virago model bike and decide on the most efficient way to route them.
• Place the handlebars of your Virago fully to the right side so the steering mechanism will lock during installation.
• Install the pull cables by threading them through the opening furthest from you, and use the opening nearest to you when installing the push cables.
• Attach both items to the engine via the carburetor to keep them from clashing with other parts of the bike.
• Make adjustments to the cables as necessary so that they perform each operation efficiently.
