MEGA THANKS! Outstanding tutorial and camera work! I went straight from computer to garage and got it done in no time at all...and ordered an extra cable and set of tools to keep on the bike! Keep up the good work!
Great video. The cable looks pretty enclosed in the housing, so is it possible to lube the cable as per proper maintenance or is it not possible for these cables?
You can squirt some lube down the cable before you put it on if you wish. But from my experience the cable ALWAYS breaks from the fatigue right by the clutch handle. Lube ain't going to help there.
Another nice video and it serves as a reminder to go out and check for wear on my clutch cable. One minor point: is it good procedure to apply the specified lube into the cable wrap before completing installation?
Hello. Can you tell if 5PB-26335-00-00 cable fit for classic version or only for custom? Cause i also found 5KS-26335-00-00 and can't understund the difference.
1) Did you lay both cables on the ground and see if they are the same length? 2) If they are then you adjust the cable "backwards" so that more thread shows near the clutch handle, that shortens the cable.
Did I hear you right bro, 120k miles? Have you had to any major repairs, rebuild top end anything aside from the normal vstar problems like starter clutch?
The bike is up to 150k now. The only extra work done in the past was some clutch work as some fly wheels wore out around 80k miles. Other than that just tires, oil, brakes, and occasional clutch cable.
@@Byrds1967 Right on bro! Hell yeah that makes me feel great about mine. I've got a 03 Vstar 1100 classic and it's at about 40k now...I was wondering if they were good for some miles and obviously they are. Thanks for the reply!

I use to do that....didn't make a difference. It still breaks in the same spot (by the handle grip) which is always exposed and bending.

That's a question for a shop. When I order cables I just tell the parts department year and model of the bike.
I have for some reason too much slack in my line. Even after adjusting all the way where the lever is at. Help!

Where was the oil coming from?
I had some bad gaskets....cheap fix.
Are u not suppose to use blue locktite
Those screws go opposite directions of each other. There's no need to use locktite.
No , you don't have to move stand, use L shape alem ranch.
I am scare of the tab breaking off...
Yeah, after about 5 changes that tab starts to get weak.
I don’t have a cat
The cat's the most important tool.
@@Byrds1967 I agree!
I knew I had to replace my cable when it completely snapped n she made me push her home... ^.^ n my girl is an 80' xs1100... Hahaha...
