Does any one have this on their bike for a thumb throttle.i just need to know do i use the z400 cable or some other set up .

Normally when I swap throttles I always use the real bikes cable, and the donar throttle....in my 200x with kx100 motor I used kx cable on 200x throttle. Make sense?

You need to use the cable made for your carb. Throttle swaps are just universal now days basicly.

On 86 Tecate I used the ATC / TRX Honda 250R thumb throttle cable for 36-38mm carb works good and is right cable length but it uses the larger thread style for thumb throttle so you cant use Kawasaki thumbers, I had to use a Yamaha or you will need Honda TRX or similar.

It also also had a curved metal tube end the mates to the carb cap- perfect.

Would also be good for all years- Tecate

Basically you have to find right length cable for Z400 thumb.
