GT750 Clutch cable replacement

[bobhenry999]

Guys,

Went out for a ride this evening to enjoy the last of the summer weather and my clutch cable snapped on the way home.
I have ordered a new one, but was just wondering if there are any particular issues or tips that I should know about when fitting the cable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, the only tip I can give is only use OEM
Suzuki part, as I've had trouble in the past with after market cable breaking after a very short period. Also make sure the cable has a nice smooth path to follow,with no tight bends in it

+1 on what Roger said and, I always give a good coating of silicone grease on the nipple at the lever end, much better than oil or ordinary grease because it lasts and doesn't dry out. I also have a rubber cover over the lever joint, keeps any dust, bugs and the weather out. HTH. Steve.

Before you fit the new cable Bob always a good tip to oil the inner.
Using plasticine form a funnel around the end of the cable with the nipple sticking proud holding the cable straight in a vice,fill the funnel with a little engine oil and leave overnight so the oil drips through and place a small drip tray on the floor.
