Most places I've found are saying Motion Pro cables work.. but when I look at motionpro's website, I don't find anything that says it works in my versys.. Can anybody confirm for me the part number for a Motion Pro Clutch Cable for an 07 Versys please? OEM Part number 54011-0058
Well..the cable itself has already snapped.. I noticed it feeling really loose, so found it was starting to go, tightened it up a bit and tested the feel..felt good, so hopped on the bike to test it out... snapped before I got more than 15 feet.
So now I'm trying to find a clutch cable locally so I can get the bike going again, then I'll get myself a spare OEM to keep in the bike (along with some other key cables that I'd rather not have break on me).
In general, it helps to also periodically clean and grease the clutch lever pivot point, and grease where the ferrule inserts into the clutch lever (when you lube the cable 2 or 3 times a year).
In the spring I pull the cable out and drip 3-in-1 oil down it, clean the barrel and housing and then put fresh grease on the barrel. During the season I occasionally spray a bit of chain lube around the barrel contact point. Works for me. Careful routing is important too.
One of the cable lube tools work well. It uses a spray can to force lube down the cable. All you need to do is disconnect one end. I use the Dupont Teflon stuff in a spray can. Cables will last about forever if properly lubed. Dab of grease on the barrel end and you are good to go.
The off road guys will zip tie a spare cable to the cable in use just in case. That way it is out of the way but ready to go.
