Clutch cable fiasco 😞

[declan]

@calum i had no reason to believe it wasn't genuine

[Calum]

@declan Was it from Yamaha?

[declan]

@calum why you gotta do this to me no it wasn't

[Calum]

@declan Well it's probably not a genuine Yamaha one then.

From memory the price of a genuine one isn't that much more yet the quality is vastly superior!

If it's from eBay then it's not genuine.

I've been here myself.

[declan]

@calum well I think this one was 8 pound

[Calum]

@declan Yeah, it's not genuine then.

Actually genuine is like triple the price:

But you get what you pay for.

Here is a cheap one:

@calum guess I just gotta wait but there's no way in hell that they fit the dts mine was massive

@declan Don't always buy cheap.

I understand the necessity to do so because I have run 'eBay special'.., shitty clutch cables for 4 years.. They snap for me more often than not, always towards the lever perch.

I've gone through 5 cables in 9,000 miles.

+That seller is talking shite. What dimensions are those!?

There are better Aftermarket ones, but a Genuine will last.

@darty he said the inner cable was 115cm but I got it down to more like 119cm
