Clutch cable mod. - SV650.org

gadget · 03-06-21, 08:01 PM

Hi all, I've seen/ read few posts on clutch cable replacement when changing 'S' clipons to full handlebars, I have ordered some 30mm risers to fit to my 'S' to yoke and I have some bars from an FZ1 which seem pretty much spot on for comfort/ riding position. I will more than likely have to change the clutch cable to a longer item, my question is ... which one do I go for that would be a direct replacement? Naked bandit? Suzuki DL? Standard SV? if anyone can recommend any of these... which model/ year would be best?
Cheers.

you could always ask Venhill to make you one the length you want.

Thanks for the suggestion, I did contemplate having it made up but just wanted to know if anyone here had done the conversion and has used an 'off the shelf' cable that fits with no hassle or modification. I suppose it will be difficult to say which cable fits exactly due to no two conversions being the same but if for example a DL fitted with no problems or mods with a similar bar setup I would probably go for that cable.

I used the cable from a V-Strom when I did my bar swap.

I have a curvy, does it make any difference between curvy and pointy to me using a bandit k7 650?

Would a curvy naked cable be suitable?
