BrianG Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 While I understand that the R1 cable is somewhat longer than the OEM FJ 09 cable, I have changed my handlebars and would like a clutch cable that is substantially (maybe +6") longer than the original. Does anyone know if there is such an animal available from some other Yamaha model, or perhaps even from a different marque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianG Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Excellent! Thanks. Can anyone provide the total outer length and the inner cable length of the OEM cable? Edited November 8, 2020 by BrianG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how tall are the bars you installed that you need +6" longer clutch cable? If you need a +6" clutch cable then for sure you will also need longer throttle cables and brake line as well. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a +6" clutch cable then for sure you will also need longer throttle cables and brake line as well. The new bars have more sweep and some drop, rather than the rise of the OEM bars. This changes the angle of the clutch perch upward, and forward requiring a re-routing of the cable around the right side of the steering head and a different cable arch than that provided by the elbow housing at the upper end of the OEM cable . A mock-up suggests that 6" more length will do it. With a little re-routing, the current wiring, front brake line and throttle cables well accommodate the new bars.

BrianG Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 I still need the numbers for the total outer cable casing length (including the elbow) and the inner cable length of the OEM cable, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
