SHOP MOTORCYCLE CONTROL CABLES

Stiff, frayed or snapped cable? We stock genuine OEM control cables, including Kawasaki clutch cables for models such as the KZ1000J and KZ1100 shaft drive. A genuine cable has the correct length, end fittings and adjuster, so it routes and adjusts exactly like the original.

A stiff clutch can also come from a worn lever pivot, so check it while you're there. Clutch cables are also listed with our clutch parts. Not confident routing a cable? Here's why it pays to use a professional motorcycle workshop. More parts are in our controls & foot controls.

FAQ – Motorcycle Control Cables

When should I replace a throttle or clutch cable?

Replace it if it's frayed at the ends, kinked, stiff, sticky or doesn't return smoothly. A sticking throttle cable is a serious safety risk and should be fixed before riding.

Should I lubricate my cables?

Older unlined cables benefit from regular cable lube. Many modern cables have a nylon liner and should not be oiled, so check the manufacturer's advice.

How should a new cable be routed?

Follow the original routing exactly and make sure the cable doesn't pinch or tighten when you turn the handlebars from lock to lock.

Can I use a cable from a different model?

Only if the length, end fittings and adjuster type match. A cable that's too short can affect steering or hold the throttle open.
