08 Zuma Throttle Cable "Throttle Stop"

[Kenho21]

Replacing my stock card with a Polini CP carb and just realized I will need a new throttle cable. The end on this cable that connects to the carb is correct and I haven't taken the throttle apart yet to see, but the other end should work according to Scooter Tuning, but the description says "Attention! No throttle stopper include!" Am I able to use my stock throttle stop or do I need to buy another part?

I've never seen what a throttle stop looks like, and after searching, I cannot find one....

Here is a link and a picture to one .

It is actually better to change over to a motion pro throttle tube or something similar it is safer .

If the the throttle stop fails you have no other off switch for your throttle just the kill switch.

Scootertuning or scooter swapshop can hook yu up with a single pull throttle tube .

[Kenho21]

So if I got a new throttle tube and a new throttle cable, I should be good to go then, correct?

Should I be looking at performance throttle setups or would that be overkill for a daily driver/street/non-hyper race setup?

[Zino]

No need for a performance throttle just a single pull throttle tube and cable and some cool grips while your at it .

They also have another set up but it is out of stock

One tip for the new grips stick them in the microwave to warm them up before you put them on it will loosen them up .

I saw the setup you just posted before, but it’s quite a bit more expensive for just the cable+throttle tube. I’ve been talking to ST about an order that got messed up anyway, so I think I’m just gonna ask if I can order that first cable and have them charge new a few bucks for the tube. I don’t need the whole conversion kit since I decided to premix this one.

Thanks for helping me understand what I need to get going. Much appreciated! This scoot is quickly becoming damn near an entire top and bottom rebuild lol. Started out as just a derestriction and once over at first haha. I haven’t even loosened a nut to speak of on it yet and have already dropped at least $700-$800 dollars on upgrades hahaha! Might as well get it done sooner rather than later.

Okay, so I’m getting this

And this

Good to go now?

If your happy with the OEM switches you’ll just need a cable. The idea for the replacement tube is so the throttle cable doesn’t become disconnected because of the lack of stop. You can drill and tap a screw in the OEM housing that becomes the stop. You will still need a cable to swap carbs but it saves a few $$

Oh nice! Thanks dude! I think I'm gonna go that route for now. Already dropping $1,200 on other parts for this things and I'd rather save the throttle/handlebar mods for later. That'll be perfect for now! 

So i just need a 76" motion pro cable, right? How do I know exactly where to put the hole? Roughly the spot in the pic will be close enough?

I’ve been running this one for a while with no issues.

Sweet thank you. Looks just like the one scoot tuning has, but ST’s is a couple bucks cheaper and it’s blue so I’m gonna go with that one hahaha. I like perty thangs

[Kenho21]

I’m gonna start a build thread since this is quickly turning into a full rebuild.

On a side note, I watched the vid of you, Brent and the other dude and your scoot is dope. What do you have done to the rear end to get it’s stance so mean looking? Did you trim body panels or something?

[ryan_ott]

Thanks for the kind words!

The rear fender was skimmed down by pulling off unnecessary plastic junk, signals relocated to the tail light housing, the wheels are a big change, there has been a lot done to my Zuma so I can’t say it’s one thing. Take a look through my build there’s pictures of many mods along the way.

I guarantee I’ll be thumbing through your build thread pretty meticulously very soon.

What gears would you recommend for a daily driver on the Zuma with a Corsa? I just want a good compromise between a little more top end, but still not a slug off the line.

[ryan_ott]

With 43/13 you’ll be at 10.9:1 which is a good compromise between acceleration and top speed. The Corsa should carry you to 60 plus with a decent pipe.

[Kenho21]

Okay sweet. I have a yasuni r waiting for it. Has that pipe on two other minarellis and loved it stock. Seemed like it would do well to keep the Corsa properly streetable too.
