I have had trouble trying to locate a fuel tank and throttle ( handlebar end ) for my project bike and was wondering if other bike's might have the same fitting's ? I've seen a tz with what look's like the same tank And i know that some tzr125r part's are the same as the 3xv. Just thought i'd check it out before buying anything !! Happy new year If i dont read this before then !!lol. Back to top

I'd think you could use/adapt pretty much any single cable type throttle cable housing and tube. The oem 3XV one is just a simple housing with no switch unit attached. -------------- A garage overflowing with old stinkers... Back to top

I've seen seen some tzr 125 tank's, but not all of them have the raised part at the bottom for the fuel tap to poke through. I will ask someone on the 125 forum for bar size's and pic's to see if the throttle unit is the same. If so then i'll add it to the compatible part's list. Back to top

Not speaking from direct experience here though, and 4FL/4HWs are not really that common either unfortunately, so you may struggle just as much to find one of those as one from a 250... -------------- A garage overflowing with old stinkers...

The owner siezed it due to lack of oil. Yamaha here want the equivalent of 160 pounds for a piston and two rings, but I can buy a TZ piston for 40 -------------- You'll live a lot longer if you give up the things that make life worth living !
