Hey Stu.
From experience OEM Yamaha cables are way too pricey, & work no better than these Slinky Glide cables.
I use Slinky Glide on my thou (link above) from this seller on eBay, just give em a message,
All cables need lube, dry cables will be shagged in no time, I give mine a good lube with thick chainsaw chain oil, cheap as chips & works mint on cables, hang cable by it's nipple & drizzle oil down inner cable working it in moving outer up & down, only ever needs lubing once & left hanging overnight to drain prior to fitting.
Clutch arm is poorly designed with a way too weak spring system, so cable slack never gets fully pulled back, this can burn out the clutch pressure plate bearing in no time.
I modified mine with added coil springs on cable at clutch arm end , all cable slack is now fully pulled back after every lever pull.
