Bajaj Genuine Throttle / Accelerator Cable for Dominar 400 & 250 – JF161205

Bajaj Dominar 400 / Dominar 250 Throttle (Accelerator) Cable – JF161205

Replace a damaged or worn accelerator cable on a compatible Bajaj Dominar with the correct part-numbered control cable. JF161205 (also printed as JF 1612 05) is catalogued as Cable Throttle / Cable Throttle – K10 for specified Dominar 400 and Dominar 250 variants. It links movement of the handlebar throttle grip to the motorcycle's throttle mechanism. This is a replacement control cable, not an engine performance upgrade.

Quick fitment check: Confirm your current part number is JF161205 and that the cable routing and end fittings match your motorcycle. The Dominar clutch cable JF161204 and Pulsar AS150 throttle cable JF161206 are different parts.

Product identification

Compatibility – check model and generation

Not a universal Bajaj throttle cable. Do not order it for Pulsar AS150, Pulsar NS200, other Pulsar models, or unrelated Bajaj motorcycles based solely on similar appearance. Other model families may use different cable lengths or terminals.

What this cable does

The accelerator cable transfers rider throttle input from the twist grip to the throttle mechanism. A correctly selected cable must have the appropriate overall routing, end connectors, and adjustment arrangement so that the throttle opens smoothly and returns fully when released. A cable that looks similar is not sufficient proof of compatibility.

When to inspect or replace the throttle cable

• Visible fraying, a damaged inner cable, kinked sheath or broken cable end.
• Unusually heavy, gritty, or inconsistent throttle action.
• Throttle that does not return freely after release.
• Changes in engine idle when the handlebar is turned, which may indicate incorrect cable routing, tension or another throttle-system issue.
• A previously fitted cable whose ends, length or adjuster arrangement do not match the motorcycle.

Diagnosis matters: Poor throttle return or irregular response can also be caused by the throttle grip/tube, routing, sticking throttle mechanism, damaged return spring or incorrect adjustment. Do not assume the cable is the only faulty component.

What you receive

• Included: 1 × JF161205 throttle / accelerator cable.
• Not included: Clutch cable JF161204, throttle grip/tube, handlebar switch or throttle housing, throttle body, or additional cables and assemblies.

Before ordering – important checks

1. Confirm the motorcycle is a supported Dominar 250 or Dominar 400 version, not merely a motorcycle with a similar engine.
2. Compare JF161205 against the existing part label or the VIN-specific spare-parts catalogue.
3. Compare both cable-end fittings, adjuster position, and cable routing with the existing installation.
4. If the bike has modified handlebars, risers, or an altered throttle arrangement, independently verify cable length and routing before purchase.
5. Do not confuse this throttle cable with JF161204 (Dominar clutch cable) or JF161206 (Pulsar AS150 throttle cable).

Installation and safety notes

Installation and adjustment should be carried out by a competent motorcycle technician. Follow the applicable Bajaj workshop procedure for routing and free-play adjustment. The cable should not be pinched, kinked, stretched or routed against sharp/hot components. After fitting, with the engine switched off, verify that the throttle turns smoothly and snaps shut on release at the centre and at both full handlebar-lock positions. Confirm that the engine idle does not rise when steering after reassembly.

Do not ride if the throttle sticks, binds, fails to return, or changes opening when the handlebar is turned. Inspect the complete throttle mechanism and correct the fault first.

Frequently asked questions

What is Bajaj part number JF161205?

JF161205 is the throttle / accelerator cable identified in Bajaj Dominar 400 and Dominar 250 parts references. It is also written as JF 1612 05.

Does it fit the Bajaj Dominar 400 BS4 ABS?

Yes. The Dominar 400 BS4 catalogue identifies one JF161205 throttle cable for the ABS version.

Will it fit the Dominar 400 BS4 non-ABS version?

Yes. The same BS4 parts catalogue lists JF161205 for the non-ABS version as well.

Is JF161205 used on the Dominar 400 BS6?

Yes, it is listed in a Dominar 400 BS6 / 2020 control-cables reference. Confirm the exact vehicle revision before ordering.

Does this cable fit the Dominar 250?

Yes, Dominar 250 BS6 and 2023 catalogue references identify JF161205 as the throttle cable. Compare the exact part number for your motorcycle.

Does it fit every Dominar made after 2023?

Not automatically. Parts can change with production revisions. Check the latest VIN-specific catalogue or your existing cable before ordering.

Can I use this on a Pulsar AS150?

No fitment is established for AS150. Its catalogued throttle cable is JF161206, a different part number.

Is JF161205 the Dominar clutch cable?

No. JF161205 is the throttle cable; the corresponding Dominar clutch cable in the checked catalogues is JF161204.

Does the package contain two throttle cables?

No. This listing is for one JF161205 throttle cable, matching the quantity shown in the referenced catalogue assembly.

Is the throttle grip or throttle housing included?

No. This product is the replacement control cable only; the grip, housing, throttle body and other assemblies are separate parts.

Will a new cable fix a sticking throttle?

Only if the cable is the cause. Binding may instead come from the grip, cable routing, adjustment, throttle mechanism, or return system. Diagnose the entire assembly.

Can it be fitted with aftermarket handlebars or risers?

Do not assume it will fit altered handlebar geometry. Check routing, available slack and the cable-end geometry; a different cable length may be required.

What should be checked after installation?

The throttle must move smoothly and return fully at straight-ahead steering and both handlebar locks. Check free play using the relevant workshop specification and never ride with a sticking throttle.
