Clutch cable
Hi all,
I have 2001 Raptor that needs a little bit of work, nothing major, just a revamp.
I’m now in the process of gathering the bits I need. One of them is a clutch cable. The one on it is not standard. I think its a Suzuki one, feels a really vague clutch action but it works. It’s a bit of a long shot, does anyone have a good clutch cable to sell or an old one with all the adjusters still on it to sell. Or beg a loan of so I can get a copy made.
Thanks in advance Guys and Gals.

Hiya
I’ve contacted Venhill but unfortunately they don’t hold a pattern.
I’ll have a gander at the topic.
Thanks

Hi mate,
forget cable, go hydraulic.
It's cheap, easy to do and you won't have to worry about it again
Cheers

Hiya.
It had crossed my mind. There’s a post on here about that, I’ll have a read.

Re: Clutch cable
If you get stuck apparently a TL1000 cable only needs a bit of judicious straightening in a vice and then works fine.

Re: Clutch cable
I used an inner cable out of a Honda trail bike, cut it to length, put it in the Cagiva outer bit, machined a nipple for the engine end and sliver soldered it to the cable. Works fine. Then converted it to hydraulic, even better....
