Topic: exhaust pipes burning clutch cable

[chud]

I'm installing a new clutch cable and noticed that my old cable was running right against an exhaust pipe and was burned on one side.  Does anybody have a closeup picture of how they route the clutch cable to avoid the exhaust?


Thanks.

Sorry, no pictures   Just use a couple zip ties, one high and one low, to secure the cable to the frame downtube. This should keep it from bumping against the exhaust when you turn the handlebars.

that's the solution indeed just use tyeraps en bind the cable to the frame

Well honda used plastic covered metal strips to do exactly that.


Buy Black tie wraps.....white ones just look gay

Kawasaki Part # 92037-1552. That cable needs to move some to really work properly (lock to lock).

Black zip-ties are your friend

Thanks guys.  I zip tied it to the frame.

I think maybe my drag bars cause the cable to be too long so now I have a bigger loop up by the bars.
