kz400 clutch cable
10 Feb 2006 18:12
ok this sucks, i just spent two weeks workin on my tank.
repairing petcock, sealing, filling and paint.
kzrider.com/component/option,com_joomlab...ew/id,23010/catid,6/
and after riding it for 4 days my cable broke about 4 miles away from home.
does anyone have a used kz400 cable they would be willing to part with??
im kinda desperate and kinda broke so cheaper is better.
oh yea my speedo cable was rubbing the tire since i took the fender off and i put a new loom on and when i went to remove the cable the fastner crumbled in my hands.
z1 has them pretty cheap but between the two im looking at close to 30 bux for 2 cables and shipping.

AS LONG AS YOU DONT HERE ANYTHING GRINDING YOURE OK.
THE ONLY TIME I USE A CLUTCH IS TO TAKE OFF OR DOWNSHIFT.

phew, i must admit it had me worried.
didnt know how bad this old kaw would handle it.
downshifting was ok but the upshifts were a bit harshe
