Yamaha Parts Fiche error? (Throttle cables)

[duckling]

3EN-26311-00(10)-00 vs 3EN-26312-00-00. Yamaha illustrates the pull cable as a push cable. Am I wrong? It seems that Motion Pro has followed suit and labeled all their pull cables "push" as well. I have three wrong cables now, having ordered each as a push cable. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Just sent this off to a helpful sounding chap

"Hi Rob.. Thanks for your reply... its a special bike (groan ) Its got fzr600 3he switchgear and cables though. The cable I need is labelled 3EN-26312-00-00 (no.11) on this microfiche

but it has the lock nuts on ?

I've got the old cable here with the code 3en-26311-00 so it looks like they might have got the numbers the wrong way round. Talking to Fowlups awhile ago didn't help much so I bodged the cable but I need one now.

Looks like a fzr400 genesis 1986 3FH-26312-00 might also do the trick. Thanks again for your help! Barry

Rob a very helpful guy from Abbey motorcycle breakers in Leicester replied:

Hi Barry, this is very complicated indeed. I think that they have just mislabelled the cables on the fiche - this cable doesn't even have the threaded bit to accept the nuts & yet is very clearly stamped 3EN-26312-00. Opening cables are always 26311 & are called "cable 1", closing cables are always 26312 & are called "cable 2". I am certain therefore that you actually need part number 3EN-26311-00 (or the superceded part no: 3EN-26311-01). However, it's even worse in the original FZR400R 3EN2 model part diagram (the model that the FZR600 borrows the cable from). Here they actually DRAW the cables incorrectly! In reality 3EN-26311-00 has a plastic adjuster at the throttle end with the nuts at the carb end & 3EN-26312-00 is a plain cable with no adjuster or nuts. In the 3EN fiche they incorrectly transpose the plastic throttle end adjust onto 3EN-26312-00! Perhaps this error was spotted & subsequent fiches had correct drawings of the cables but misnumbered them. No wonder you got the wrong cable!! However, just to recap, you need 3EN-26311-00 (or -01) which should have the adjuster & locking nuts (unfortunately I do not have one). Hope that clarifies things. Regards, Rob.

A great guy there! proper motorcycle dealer!
