A question for all you YPVS Gurus.
I need to replace the clutch cable in my black 4lo hybrid (YPVS engine). I would like a 31k type genuine clutch cable (NLA), so no right angle piece at the handlebar end and i believe people say either a R6 or YBR125 clutch cable work, if so which model and year please?
Many thanks Mouse

That Josh Brooks clip is fantastic Johnnie! I'm also amazed (i know he passes it) at how quick the ZX7 is too!

Spindle looks smart, can i ask where you got that from? Also, which wheels and swingarm are you fitting? Sounds exciting! Mouse hi Mouse the spindle came from Titanclassics on Ebay they have recently gone up (but aint everything) it went missing on delivery as the postie delivered it to the wrong street but the number was right!! and the fella at titan was far from helpful basically its signed for see you later attitude the wheels i have on order are Dymag UP7X in VJ22 fitment www.bikehps.com/acatalog/info_Dymag_Ultra_Pro_UP7X_Aluminium_7_Spoke_Motorcycle_Wheels_Suzuki.htmli was thinking of having a swingarm made local to me but decided to order a slotted Metmachex mart Sounds great, look forward to seeing the wheels fitted. Be careful with 'Titan', i ordered a titanium steering stem nut (RGV fitment) for my hybrid and it was completely useless, it was to big for my RGV stem! The bloke insisted they had sold loads and never had a problem and yet it was the wrong size for both my hybrids (both use RGV yokes). Got my money back, but there was no way he was going to admit his product was the problem, needless to say i will not use them again! Anyway hope your bits are ok! Mouse

Got round to fitting a new Ti front spindle and a new rgv speedo drive , I was waiting for the new wheels to turn up before fitting them but 8 week wait has now turned into 12 weeks and still no sign of the feckers I was told 2-3 weeks on swingarm think its 7 now , good job i didn't need them😂 Mart Spindle looks smart, can i ask where you got that from?

Agree with others, you're doing a stirling job Dusty!
The thing that bugs me, is a certain element of 'newbies' (not all) who just see the forum as their own private ebay, a way to off-load their stuff to a captive market, often at inflated prices, or as a sounding board for selling on ebay with a 'what's this worth?' as their second post!
This for me is a real bugbear and spoils the forum, also can lead to back-biting and bitchy comments. Not why i joined the forum at all!
However, i think the 'for sale' and 'wanted' sections are great. As a source of bikes/parts to genuinely help other devotees of these bikes NOT a source of making money as their primary objective (Norbo excluded!)
So maybe more posts before being able to access 'for sale and 'wanted' sections, i think that may weed out the chaff!

My three LC's all have lithium batteries, no problems, lovely and light, charge up in minutes if needed, just make sure you buy the correct charger for lithium. Mouse Which ones are you using? I use 'JMT' (black with a red top) batteries and a 'Noco Genius' charger HTH Mouse

Watched the TV coverage, not bad and on this week in the eves. Seems the only way you can go to the "Members Meeting' is by joining the the GRRP, which i might do, the revival is now so busy.

From memory don’t you need to prime magnesium properly as it’ll oxidise very quickly? Not sure, but i know it does not like sitting in water for years, as in water pump casings. Mouse

Bit more done while waiting for better weather, thought i would modify the sprocket cover Wanted to give it more of a race bike look! Plus, it had been painted several times before and all badly!
So out came the hacksaw and files, i have never worked with magnesium before but what a beautiful metal, it's so easy to work, probably more than aluminium.
So having cut away all i wanted to, time to strip the paint. I tried Nitromors, but what a waste of time! So a quick call to Dusty, he came up trumps with some unidentifiable brown sludge, but boy did it work, cheers Dusty!
Just waiting for a warm day to paint it now. Mouse

Certainly were mate Mouse has a big, laminated pic of those Lc's on his garage wall Saw those pages on Facebook and thought he would like them - and the rest of us too !! Dusty Ha Ha! Nice one Dusty, i still have a copy of that issue of Bike! Loved that set of photos, for me they just summed up the madness! I tracked down the photographer to see if he had any negs so i could get some copies, he said the magazine had them all, so i called them, but was told they didn't, I think maybe the girl i spoke too wasn't that keen to search for them. However as you know, Jim Moore of 'PS' helped out in the end! By the way, i also have the 'Performance Bikes' issue with the 'LC Frenzy' in if you wanted to post that up? Mouse

Two points:
Unless i have missed the point completely, always a possibility!
1. Why does the lever not operate the brake light switch, are the levers not designed for this bike?
2. You say the quality is very good, so kinda answered your own question.
I know plenty of people on this forum have and do use Chinese levers and swear by them but, personally i would rather use a known brand for something so critical.

Thanks guys, looks like NK brackets then. Yes, he does two of the four in one diameter and two in another to allow for the change in diameter on the RGV forks. Mouse
