clutch

[atver13]

ive been going through clutch cables like crazy. ive changed 2 this year and 10 last year. anyone know why they break so early. ive been replacing them with motion pro

[BenHonda400ex]

Try stock clutch cables.. And make sure they are away from the headers because I burnt up one not paying attention

[atver13]

they dont usually burn they just break where it goes into the lever on the handle bars

[NacsMXer]

What kind of clutch lever are you using? Stock lever?

[hocman123]

i don't really like the motion pro cables i have never had good luck with them but i would suggest getting a cable from a 250r i belive, i know is from a 250, it is extra long and u can run it down the frame away from the header if that is the problem u are haveing

250x cable and route out along the oil cooler lines AWAY from the headers.

But i bet its your clutch lever, what brand and style are you using?

[atver13]

i just have the stock lever.

[atver13]

it dosent burn through i the strands just come apart where it goes into the lever.

[CJM]

Id try a stock cable then.

Its not hard to pull or anything is it

[Scro]

Make sure the cable is coming straight out of the lever, and not at an angle. This will wear them out like you are describing.

[atver13]

it is straight comming into the lever. and its not hard to pull. can the lever wear out.

[CJM]

Possible, the levers abrasive.

Id be willing to get its the cable, I have a motion pro and had no issues-but many others report they dont fit right and had problems with them.

I do have the terminator cable,not the regular old motion pro tho.

[atver13]

should i get the 250x cable because of the less sharp bends

[CJM]

No, the reason to get the 250x cable is not b/c it bends less, its to make it avoid the header. Its long enought o route it away from the hot headers :)

[atver13]

so basically there is nothing i can do to stop breaking them. maybe try another brand of cable
