Clutch cables
« on: 31 August 2016, 08:54:51 pm »
Check this out, a clutch cable for £5 inc postage!

I've taken a punt on this, has anyone any bad experiences with this one?

Only thing my mechanic has ever been blunt to me about is choosing an OEM clutch cable over an after market one.

My original clutch cable is still going strong after 17 years and 75k miles.  I wouldn't mind paying the extra £20 to get that sort of reliability.

Well it's fitted and it works  :)  lets see how it lasts. I spoke to a lad with an SV650 who parks next to me and he says the cheap ones stretch like buggery, time will tell. They've sold 250 of these cables so there must be a few foccers out there with them.

250 tight-fisted buggers you mean  :pokefun
Probably only 50 foccers, all on their 5th one.  :lol
