OEM Clutch Cable

[old son]

I have bought OEM parts from Boat.net in the past but looking at their web site they are only showing boat parts. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place?


I want to buy an OEM clutch cable, anywhere that can offer a bit of a deal?


Thanks

I get the impression that discounts aren't possible on OE parts. I recently ordered a replacement rad. cap and sj sutton, fowlers, wemoto and my local Yam dealer all quoted the same exorbitant price.

Brought one from CMC today they had to get it in from fowlers but only took 24hrs cost £42,don't buy the ones from. M&P I did it lasted 5weeks

I was going to buy a new clutch cable but I thought I'd have a go at oiling the old one first.
It did the trick. Gone from super heavy clutch action to feather light.


Assuming you haven't broken the cable.

They do wear out eventually

Thanks all. I have ordered a new OEM at £42.08!! My old one has been oiled a few times but it goes heavy quite quickly. I'll try giving it a go off the bike, maybe soak it in oil for a couple of days. Can't do any harm can it?

Fitted mine  this morning, the clutch action is superb shouldn't have pissed around buying a pattern part and gone for genuine in the first  instance

Not much point as your new cable should last years. I suppose you could keep it as a spare but you'll probably end up chucking it.

You can buy hydraulic oilers to force oil down the cable. Not the cleanest job but I’ve had success in the past if you’re on a budget.

That's what I used Trebus. Oil everywhere. All over my hands, all over the floor, all over the bike... Some did make it down the cable though.


Just clicked on the link and it is exactly the same as mine - I've only had mine for 33 years, it still works and it's still as messy to operate as the day I bought it.

I’m all too familiar ??
But they do work if you can stand the mess!
