So I changed my 2" ROX risers out for a 3.5' set and now my clutch cable is binding when I turn right. Does anyone know of a compatable cable that is 2-3 inches longer?

[Royal Club]

mhhh If I remember correctly a Yamaha XT660X cable is preeeeetty long..

they have the clutch arm on the right side of the engine..

+ 3" cable

WOW Steve that was FAST!! THANKS A BUNCH You must have done something like this before? This is a Honda compatable cable, right?
I have a longer cable from a Yamaha XT that I figured would work but the cable inside the sleeve has a longer throw and won't adjust out. If that makes any sense...

Certainly if you call, he'll make sure it's the right one.

can I remove the dipstick in the frame while running the engine? Or will I be splooged by hot oil?

[mcma111]

I first looked for longer clutch cables for the XR600 and there were none listed so I checked for the XR650l which is basically the same and they list the +3" cable.


Removing the dip stick while the engine is running is possible. There will be some oil spitting but nothing to terrible.

Thanks for the info, it should be just what i need. now i have to wait to hear back from them, since i live in alaska and their shipping is for the lower 48 only........the story of my life

Yes , you can. Nothing will come out. You just cant add oil while running. This is how I check my oil . Running the oil is all where its supposed to be. Only a little air comes out.
