Hi all I'm looking at changing my clutch cable, but I'm unable to find a genuine one for the 31k, don't really want to go down the route of aftermarket, so would anyone know if a cable from amother bike would fit? RD500, RD400, ETC, I can't even find a part number for it.
cheers

I've now found a part number for the 31k it's 29l-26335-00, I'm I right in thinking the start is the model it was made for so for the
rd500 it's 47x-26335
rd125 it's 1E7 -26335
rd350 it's 4lo -26335
rd350 31k 29l -26335
So would any of these fit as they all the same part number just different prefix. cheers.

It's an lc2 by the sounds of it
You need the 29l cable
One on ebay from Malaysia but it's £60
You can occasionally find them for £40 ish
Some quote the 5a8 cable is the replacement but it is longer. I know cause I have one ☹

Only the 29l is the correct length
The 51L and the 1ar are shorter
I'm not saying the 51l won't fit but you would have to route it differently
The middle number only identifies it as a clutch cable. They all have that no matter the fitment

:-)IIRC I bought a Genuine R6 Clutch cable .. Yeahh a bit longer but it was finally stuffed in.
Major smoothness difference from the crapped out original.
PLUS the moderne cables have a threaded end. So one can throw away the foolish RZ wire cable clamp thing and bolt the cable outer securely to the case Boss,
allowing for another adjustment point.. Which can be useful :-)

I’ve got 1 here bespoke made by mutts for the shocker, I’ve gone hydraulic so if you get stuck you can have this.

I've just been out and checked a new gen 5a8 cable and a nos 29l cable
The 5a8 is about an inch longer. There is one on EBay from France for £22
The end that locates onto the engine is slightly different but looks like it will fit fine
