Z900A4 clutch cable query

#1 PostAuthor: dave cullen » Mon Jul 27, 2015 12:37 pm

anyone bought one recently for a Z900 with UK low bars? i got one other week which turned out to be 120cm, it was around 3.5 inches/9cm longer than the one on bike so couldnt be used despite my best efforts;

in the parts catalogue, the one for low barred bike is 54011-070, yet on ZPower site, its listed at 116 cm, so not much difference;

i will speak to Zpower tmrw, but just wondered if anyone had bought the low barred one and if it fitted ok?

thanks

I bought a set of 5 cables from Z-Power and the clutch cable was around 4" too long. Took me a while to realise that I had the smaller bars on, so I just bought a higher set, and all was corrected.

:)

If I remember correctly, the throttle cables were too long as well as the front brake hose, which was already on there!

I have bought throttle + clutch cables for the lower bars from Z-Power and all worked fine :)

think ive worked it out, just me being stupid, the outer sleeve on mine when all pushed together = 116 cm so the Z Power part will be the right one, if nothing else ive had the chance to do one of my favourite jobs, cleaning out the oily greasy mess inside the cover and getting all the crap out the mechanism, thanks for replies
