    @NINJA Yeah I mean £21 plus postage seems pretty expensive for what it is

    @Irongamer727 An OEM clutch cable for my Aprilia MX 125 costs £25 + shipping. So I would say that's a decent price, especially as it has teflon inner lining and stainless steel wires, do the OEM cables have those? I'd give it a try if I was you. :winking_face:

      Honestly, aftermarket cables are not worth the price. I've had so many in the past and they just stretch and snap almost instantly. Then you're riding around with no clutch.

      To be fair though, I did become the boss of that back in the day!

          I always run aftermarket cables on my bikes, no problems ever, i just buy the cable, buy the cable housing, the cable ball thing just like the throttle has but bigger(forgot the name ._. ) , cut it and make it on my own, really easy, never had a clutch cable snap or even fray on me..

              @NINJA I buy the cable with one end with a barrel(for the lever part of the cable) and the other one just a straight cable, then i just put one universal clutch 'cable harness' (i dont really know how to call them) in the engine side

                Never had problem with non-original cables. I give them some light oil, and make sure to route them with a minimum amount of kinks. Often you can reroute them differently to get them even smooter.

                But go eom if you feel like it 🙂

                  My friend sugessted slinky glide cables from wemoto, apparently made in house next to a oem unit so size and length should be sweet!!
                  Anyone tried this brand?
