First of all HNY to all members and moderators.
I am looking for a new clutch cable for my '75 DT250B. Simple swap you would think, but after buying (and then returning) no fewer than 3 already I'm stuck..!! They always come up too short. At worst 120mm or at best only 40mm short, either way they have all been too short. Outer cable adjustment isn't the answer because it only gives a variation of roughly 25mm max. Nether is the routing of the cables I've tried as I have a detailed service manual showing exact cable route. My old clutch cable is totally knackered such that I can't even use the various 'components' on it to make my own cable from scratch. Yamaha changed the position of the clutch rod actuator arm from the top of the engine to the bottom for the 1975 B models. The critical measurement seems to be the inner wire length which is 1260mm nipple to nipple on my old cable. Even accepting this has stretched over the years I still need an inner wire length of minimum 1235mm. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a supplier please? I know one option would be to buy a whole short cable and use it's components to 'build up' a new cable using a kit, but surely before going down this path there must be a supplier somewhere? I'm located in the U.K. but if necessary I'd consider taking a hit on the cost of P&P + import tax from the U.S.A. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks AndyL.
