    79 gs1000s clutch cable for 77 gs550

    Hi, about a month or so ago, I replaced my throttle cables with the 1979 gs1000s ones due to having clip-ons. I was about to go order the gs1000s clutch cable as well but the design of the cable illustrated in the fiche look of different contruction than the 77-79 gs550 one's. Is it just me, or will a 79 gs1000s clutch cable not work with a 77 gs550?

    The 550M cable is more appropriate for a 550. It's shorter than your stock cable and a better choice than the 1000S cable due to the 550 specific cable routing.

      Thanks Ed, I'll go ahead and get that one then. 1982 is the M edition, right?, at least this is what the fiche is telling me.

        Not necessarily. The M is the Katana.
        The 1982 designator is Z.
        If it's an '82 550 Katana, it would be a GS550MZ.

          The fiche only lists GS550M. I guess this includes all Katanas, 82 and thereafter? More importantly, is this the clutch I want, from the fiche: GS550M (1982), no other choices for different models given...?
