Batavus Cables

1970’s Batavus mopeds use 1970’s Magura controls. The left side is the rear brake and start lever. The right side is the front brake, throttle, and choke trigger. The brake cables connect to the levers with little adaptor pieces called socket bolts or cable anchors.

Note: 1976-77 Batavus Bronco has same cables as VA, but all are 10″ longer, because it has “ape hangars”.

 

41-248 and 41-405: These are very long throttle cables, for a moped, because the carburetor is below and behind the motor. They have a short Magura adjuster on top.

Substitute: The substitute cable has a different style of Magura adjuster at the top end.

 

 

 

41-246 and 41-406: There is no adjuster on the choke cable. Instead there is a rubber boot (not shown) that keeps water and dirt from getting in.

 

 

 

41-247 and 41-409: These start cables are single ended, where the wire slides out, so the 5-8 step ferrule, and the Magura short adjuster are shown and sold separately. The upper inner wire end is held with a pinch bolt built into the black plastic Magura start lever. The adjuster is optional, since it is easy to adjust from the pinch screw.

 

 

41-250 and 41-407: These front brake cables have a 6mm 10-hex type adjuster on the bottom end, and a short Magura type adjuster on the top. The second adjuster on top is a convenience, so you can adjust it while riding.

Substitute: The substitute cable has no Magura adjuster at the top end.

 

 

41-249 and 41-408: These rear brake cables have a 6mm 10-hex type adjuster on the bottom end, and a short Magura type adjuster on the top. The second adjuster on top is a convenience, so you can adjust it while riding.

Substitute: The substitute cable has no Magura adjuster at the top end.

 

 

41-397 and 41-398: These brake cables for mag wheel models have a “Ø6 pear” or “mushroom” on both ends, a 6mm 10-hex type bottom adjuster, and a short Magura type top adjuster. The top adjuster is a convenience, so you can adjust it while riding.

Substitute:  The substitute cable has no Magura adjuster. It has a similar but generic 6mm adjuster on the bottom end, at the wheel.

 

41-434: It has a short Magura type adjuster on top.

Substitute: The 1981-84 Trac throttle cable is the substitute. It has a slightly different style of Magura adjuster. 

 

 

41-286: This is a single ended cable. First the inner wire slides though a small brass choke plunger. Then a set screw holds it from the bottom end. Two tiny rubber o-rings go into grooves in the choke plunger. See Encarwi carburetors for that. At the top end, a 5 x 7mm pinch bolt, shown and sold separately, goes into a plastic thumb trigger in the right control.
