    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cheap Clutch Cables

So this is the second time I've broken my clutch cable. It's a real pain. I keep buying these Motion Pro cables from a local parts store. Anyone have suggestions for a cable that wont snap on me after a few months of use.

Oh and yes, I do keep it lubricated, and it's not pinched on anything. It doesn't stick at all, just snaps after a few months.
 
I was thinking about getting the OEM one. They aren't much more expensive than the MP ones.
 
Aren't the Motion Pro cables guaranteed for life against breakage?
 
Replace your lever.

Over time, the hole in the lever gets egg-shaped and the barrel end of the cable can hang up and flex the cable sharply.

OEM levers and cables are the best, and they are only a few bucks more.
 
i went through 3 mp on a kz650, i do think the lever ,and maybe perch should be changed if wore,that may be causing it
 
I finally un-wrapped my new clutch cable the other day and installed it, bought it from Boulevard. I gotta say, the Suzuki cables are really high in quality compared to the MP stuff I've bought.
 
For a clutch lever like butter and super soft, there is nothing that comes close to an OEM cable, i will not use anything else.
And yes, a worn clutch lever pivot hole and bolt will eat cables.
 
As long as I am buying stuff, should I just buy the lever (57620-49111), or the clutch lever assembly (57500-49301)? The assembly is parts 4 through 14.

I tried the MP cable, I caught just before it broke, only got 3 years out of it, the stock cable it replaced was 27 years old. I went back to the stock cable. Much stronger and better adjustments. I replace the clutch lever as well.
