Clutch cable length?

[Its been a long time]

Looking at buying a spare clutch cable for my US spec 1977 XS650D, original handle bars and lever. Seems that part number 447-26335-00-00 is listed in different places with two lengths. Yamaha one is available in the UK but prohibitively expensive. I have found both 125cm and 150cm lengths offered. I'm 90% certain I need the longer one. But if I'm wrong that's a big difference in cable length to accommodate. If anyone can confirm to me that it is the longer one that's correct, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

(Yes, I know I should have measured it before I refitted the one I have, just one of those things).

 

[Its been a long time]

So, answering my own question. Heiden Tuning list 125cm and 150cm clutch cables. I asked Heiden Tuning what cable length they recommend for a stock US import 650D. They said 125cm was correct.

This morning I received the cable and mounted it with cable ties alongside the fitted cable. It's too short by ~11cm. So neither 125cm nor 150cm fit my bike. I've asked Heiden Tuning what they want me to do because it seem neither of their clutch cables will fit my bike.

I'll have to carry on looking. Picture -

Your only an inch shy of 150cm that can’t possibly be a problem, why wouldn’t you just go with the 150cm assuming the cable you have fits fine? If you are really fussy you can get custom cables made, I think motion pro still offers this service

25cm = ~10".

25cm = ~10".

I really should have known, Doh!
