2008 FZ6N S2 Clutch Cable

[SpeedlimiT]

Hi people, do you also face the same problem of having your clutch cable route directly over the ignition key hole as shown in the pictures? Wish to find out how do you guys find a workaround solutions without affecting the clutch cable operation (i.e. additional stiffness).

Thanks in advance.

i guess you need to disconnect it from the lever then re-route it. im in canada and the cable is routed to the left side of the ignition.

The faired version has a different cable to the naked bike, it has a metal precurved sleeve on the end of the cable, you might want to change it for one of these?

Check out in the photo's of Gcontroller's bike, you can see it in the first photo.

Have the same problem here
I doesn't bother me a lot, started used to it
Every time i have to move the cable to insert the key, don't know if this creates any problems

I have mine held back with a zip tie to keep the cable out of the way. It's been on for over 14,000km and hasn't affected the cable's operation.

yep just undo it from he lever and change where it comes up through the dash.

ps. the search function is good too!

thanks guys for the reply. Spoke to the Yamaha agent with regard to this and there are no workaround solutions from them. Most probably, I'll use a cable tie to prevent the cable from running across on top of the ignition which is causing slight abrasion to the key and also the cable.

Your Joking right?
Il put a picture up of how mine is routed.

here you go, sorry they are sideways.

thanks for the pictures. Did you do the re-route yourself or was it originally routed this way when you got your bike?

Hi, i just got my fazer and have routed mine this way too. I havn't ridden it yet but it looks ok with no tight spots or rubbing. Infact it seems to have more room than it did before. There is a little excess cable but you can push this down through the forks. let you know how it goes when it stops raining.

yep, that's what ya need to do...will drive you insane otherwise!

did mine at 8000km's, and am now at 35000km's, no troubles.

:thumbup:

AWESOME. I too am shocked that Yamaha can produce such a brilliant machine and let something (FZ6N clutch cable route) like this ruin it.
I will give the reroute a go this weekend.
Thanks so much hey.

SUCCESS! All fixed. Cant believe how easy that was. No tools required. Takes 60 seconds (no exaggeration)
Simply disconnected clutch cable (from top only) and then threaded the cable up in what appears to be the correct tunnel to the left of the ignition. (See attached image)

Clutch feels a little different but i suspect that is probably due to a slightly different adjustment.
Thanks guys. (love this forum)
Oh yeh and I have actually created a facebook group for this site.
