Clutch Cable Raptor 1000

Post by Pomegranate »

I have just yesterday fitted a Triumph T595 cable pattern cable (£10.99 from Wemoto all years the same, also should be identical to T955i - official Triumph parts are priced rather enthusiastically). Fits like a charm, though seems approx 3-4mm short. Easily fixed by placing the top adjuster nut at the clutch end under the bracket.

Had tried the TL cable but bending the end from 90 to 45 degrees causes friction and mine to snap within a year and I found the routing caused it to engage slightly with extreme bar movements.

My theory is that Cagiva are a small firm, so it's likely they simply bought in preexisting parts from other bikes, (and not always Suzuki) so there should be a whole lot of options out there if you can find the right places to look.

:nod: I guess it would but I didn't try to bend it, it's been on a few years now

That was probably my mistake. I bent mine from 90 to 45 degrees to match the original routing. Does yours pull on the clutch when turning your bars to the steering lock like my TL cable did, or did you find a way around that?
