MOTION PRO Hot Start Cable for YAMAHA YZF 450 and SUZUKI RMZ 450 2006-2008

On YAMAHA YZF 450 and SUZUKI RMZ 450 from 2006 to 2008, the MOTION PRO 04-0254 hot start cable fits in place of the original part. The hot start lets extra air into the intake so that a hot or flooded four-stroke engine restarts easily. Its cable links the control on the handlebar to the carburettor or throttle body.

Specifications

• Brand: MOTION PRO
• Manufacturer part number: 04-0254
• Black vinyl-covered housing, like the original
• Engine: 4-stroke

When to replace it?

• Control that's stiff or doesn't return.
• Hard to restart when hot, even with the control pulled.
• Frayed cable or damaged outer sheath.

Replace it as soon as it snags: a hot start that stays open raises the idle speed.

Fitting tips

1. Note the routing of the old cable.
2. Fit the new cable along the same route, with no tight bends, and grease its ends.
3. Set the free play: the control must snap back cleanly to the closed position.

Why MOTION PRO?

Motion Pro was founded in California in 1984 by Chris Carter, a former trials and motocross racer and gold medallist at the ISDT (International Six Days Trial), and the brand started out with control cables. It holds more than 30 patents and develops its parts with riders and mechanics from AMA Supercross, motocross, GNCC and enduro.
