Title: OEM clutch cable
Post by: phil on a fazer on 15 January 2013, 01:57:21 pm

Hi
 
about a year ago i was quoted about £90 for a clutch cable from my local Yam dealer. i think i posted about this and people agreed...that really was what yamaha charged for them.
 
Went into the same dealers today to order one (been saying up for a year  :D   ). didnt have one so they've ordered one....cost £47?????
 
im SURE they used to be £90ish...i am dreaming?
 
bike - FZS1000 04 model

Pretty sure Fowlers and the like charge around the 50 mark - you should def go with OE tho, I tried an aftermarket one from Wemoto for 20 odd quid and it lasted less than a 1000 miles. S

im wondering if he originally quoted me a throttle cable...or exup cable - he definitley quoted me £90 the first time!
 
yes OEM all the way.....heard the horror stories about the cheaper ones.

Exup cable is wallet-numbing 100 odd quid I think, so maybe it was that
