2005 mountain viper throttle cable

[yamiman]

will this work on my 02 viper, the 05 mountain viper has one cable for the throttle and oil. also how much longer is it than mine? would like to raise the bars a bit.

I've been looking into this one also. Carbs, and oil pump are the same, so that end should work. Not sure about the throttle lever/block end yet. Should be able to run just the one cable to the happy flipper like the old throttle cable, and not use the lower oil cable position.

im probably going to order it and see how it works, ill get back to you and let you know.

I was going to do the same thing but i just ordered the powe madd throttle extension and the 05 viper brake hose. i am going from a 2" inch riser to a 5.25 articulated riser. hope this works.

nodoo,

let me know how it works out, if my viper doesnt sell, i am going to go up higher as well....

cost of both parts???

thanks...

i ordered my stuff last week should know in the next couple how it works. the pivot adapter and 4" block with power madd throttle extender and 05 viper mountain break hose was around $140.

how high do you think you could go and still be somewhat comfortable with the stock seat? im 5'11''. might as well ask before i buy the riser. but now rox products has an adjustable riser from 4'' to 5 1/2'' but spendy i think $135

Yamiman, I'm also 5' 11"ish. I have a 2" riser now and have to stoop slightly when standing on the running boards. I'm thinking a 4" riser would be just about right.

 

[yamiman]

thats what i was thinking, i think i will buy the adjustabel rox riser

if i would have seen that before i ordered my stuff i prob would have bought that one. The only thing that makes me nervous about the types that dont use a block is i wonder if they could twist a little then eventually strip the ridges on the bar. I have no idea but just a thought.

Well, I just received my 05 Mtnviper cable. Some modifications are required to make it fit on the 02 throttle lever block. The 05 cable housing end is a little larger diameter (approx 1/64-1/32") and a different shape. It does require some drilling in the plastic throttle lever block. Not a huge deal, but takes some more time.
The 05 cable has a splitter in it for the oil cable. When you buy the 05 cable, you are replacing both the oil and throttle cable's with one cable. At the carb's and oil pump, the hook-up's are the same.
The 05 cable is approx 2" longer. I am going to a 3 1/4 pivot riser, from a 2" riser, with the 05 cable I could go even higher no problem.
