minsis Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm looking to put some Rox risers to raise the bars an inch and pull them back towards me about 1-1/4 inch. When I got the risers on the bike I noticed that the brake hose was a little taut. I'm pretty sure I could just loosen the connector and point it at a more downward angle and that'll give me enough slack in the line. However, the clutch cable is a bit different, when in full lock to one side I can see the cable slightly pulling on the lever, I dont think its enough to disengage the clutch but I'd rather not find out the hard way. In any case I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to order new cables? I called my dealership and they said they would have to custom order to the size I wanted. I figured there would be manufactures out there who were already be making longer cables, but I could be wrong. Any ideas or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some adjustment on your cable both @ the lever and more down on the engine. Have you tried loosening it up?

A friend on another list works for them and has mentioned making custom cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencos Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I had motion pro make a clutch cable 3" longer for me. It was about $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericm Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Could you post a pic of the lever end where there's a short metal sheath on the stock cable? I'm curious to see if they fixed Yamaha's error there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about $50Did they do the short bend or the no bend cable? I have an order in with them for an extra 1 1/2" in length. How did you remove the stocker-assume you pulled through from the top with wire attached to the clutch end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I taped the new cable to the old cable and pulled it thru from the bottom. I had to loosen the radiator bracket and it just fit thru. It's a very tight fit, I wouldn't want to try and install a new cable without the old one to guide it thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Call motion pro. They are making one for me as we type. 4". $50. If you remove the little bracket that holds the horn & frt. brake line you will gain about 3". Brake line is still clear of anything that might cause wear. Just remount horn.

shoryuken Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I cannot confirm this, but I read somewhere here that an R1 clutch cable is slightly longer than the stock one for the FJ. Maybe that could work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
