RZ 250 51L Clutch cable

[toddo]

Hello

I was just setting up my clutch and found I have about 10mm to much length in the cable. My manual does not have a picture of the cable where it meets the lever. I have found two pictures that claim to be the right cable one with a right angle coming from the lever and one that does not. Mine has the right angle but may still be still be the wrong length. I will probaly buy one but am not sure which is the correct one?

Thank you!

Correct 51l cable has no bend at the top

The one with the bend is 1ua

That makes more sense especially with the cable routing. 

Thank you again Steve!

The 85 has a different shaped clutch perch, thats why its a different cable to the other ypvs's.

The 51L cable is cheap enough at $18.50 from a dealer in Aus, why buy a copy?

Thanks Jon





 I paid $23 from wemoto just before I saw your post! I have found that my oil pump cable only allows for enough adustment for the idle marks to line up with the second markings closest to what would be maximum oil flow. I have checked the oil flow at idle and it seems excessive. I have not found in the manual what the volume should be at a specific RPM. I am not sure if one of the markings is for a Canada/US pollution complience but eirther way I suspect some thing is not quite right. I have pulled my spark plugs off when still hot and have seen what looks like a little steam whisping out the spark plug holes so I am worried I may have a bad head gasket/warped head but both looked good and measured straight before going on. Still things to sought out but hopefully be on the road soon.

Copy throttle cables are sh1te

Oil pump cable will most likely be the wrong length
