Replacing clutch cable and brake/clutch levers Hornet 600

[Liveware Problem]

Hello, back for more advice

So my clutch cable is knackered, I've bought a new one and also these 'eBay special' levers..

 

 

 

I'm hoping they'll be OK!

Any tips for replacing these parts? It seems I need to take the tank off for the clutch cable, anything to watch out for?

P.s. Yes I do have weirdly flat thumb nails

Levers are super easy, no real tips required. They look the same as the ones I got cost something like £14.99 and they've lasted over 18months now so no complaints.

Clutch cable, I guess main thing is just making sure you get the tension right and give it a bit of lubing if it's not already lubed up.

Also follow the existing route and make sure there are no sharp bends and the cable runs smoothly before the final hook up and adjust.

In addition to the above - a bit of copper slip on the pivot wouldn't go amiss.

before you pull the tank off try taping the new cable to the old one and see if it will pull through

Some work some don't but it may save you pulling it all apart

Thanks guys!

I did have to take the tank off Stu, and I'm glad I did it worked out much easier. Managed to fit the new cable and clutch lever, will fit the front brake lever tomorrow

I have had a few where you can manage to feed it through without removing anything! most need bits removing though!

That would have been ideal, luckily the tank wasn't too tricky to remove

All done! The new clutch cable seems slightly longer than the old, which isn't ideal, but have managed to adjust it OK.

Thanks again all
