Royal Enfield RAL00289 – Throttle Cable Assembly / Accelerator Cable for Bear 650 – Genuine OEM

The Royal Enfield RAL00289 / RAL00289/D Throttle Cable Assembly is the genuine OEM accelerator cable for the Bear 650. If your throttle feels heavy, sticks, or has visible fraying at the ends, this is the exact replacement cable specified in the Royal Enfield parts system for the Bear 650 platform.

European OEM parts portals list RAL00289/D as “THROTTLE CABLE ASSEMBLY”, supplied as the same cable fitted at the factory on new motorcycles. Independent sellers like Ural-Team and Enfieldshop explicitly describe it as the “Throttle cable set / gas cable for Royal Enfield Bear 650”, confirming model-specific fitment. 

Using a genuine RAL00289 cable ensures smooth, predictable throttle response, correct inner/outer length, and proper end fittings at the twist grip and throttle body—something cheap universal cables struggle to match. Ideal as a direct-fit replacement during major service or when upgrading from a stiff, corroded, or damaged cable.

No guesswork fitment: based on multiple independent sources, this cable is confirmed for Bear 650 only at this time.

FAQs

Q1. Which bike is the RAL00289 throttle cable actually for?
Based on multiple independent sources , RAL00289/D is described specifically as the accelerator / throttle cable for Royal Enfield Bear 650 and not for older 650 twins.

Q2. What is the difference between RAL00289 and RAL00289/D?
Royal Enfield often updates part numbers with a letter suffix as minor revisions occur (D, E, etc.). OEM catalog and European sellers primarily list RAL00289/D, but older references may show RAL00289 without the suffix. Both refer to the same throttle cable assembly family; your supply may have the latest suffix, which is a direct supersession.

Q3. Does this cable fit other 650 twins like Interceptor 650 or Super Meteor 650?
There is no reliable microfiche mapping that links RAL00289 to standard Interceptor / GT / Super Meteor / Shotgun or Classic 650. Some sites show generic “Royal Enfield parts” tags, but that is not enough for confirmed fitment. For those models, you must use the exact throttle cable part number printed on your original cable or in the official catalog.

Q4. Is the cable pre-lubricated?
Most OEM Royal Enfield cables are supplied with internal lubrication, but lubrication condition can vary by storage and climate. We still recommend checking free movement during installation and applying appropriate cable lube periodically for best feel and life.

Q5. Can I install this myself at home?
If you are experienced with cable routing and throttle adjustment, installation is straightforward: remove the old cable, route the new one with the same path, connect at throttle grip and throttle body, and set free play as per the Bear 650 service manual. If in doubt, have it fitted by a qualified mechanic to avoid unsafe throttle operation.
