Can someone give me some info or thought on the subject: 87 kdx 200 clutch cable is completely worn out...ordered new one from dennis kirk...about 4 or 5in shorter than mine...thought i could make it work since i had alot of slack in my old one....well it didn't...should i just order one from the dealer...anyone have one they care to measure? :|

Unfortunately the bike is getting up there in age and aftermarket parts might be hard to find,I would give your local kawi dealer a call.I just recently bought one for my 94 and was surprised to find it was cheaper than any of the aftermarket ones,with taxes just under $25.00 canadian.

It's not a two piece cable? Maybe you only got one piece of it?

i will say no..but who's to say the one i have on there is actually for that bike?! kawasaki.com., doesn't show it to be a 2-piece (or at least i think)

Doesn't mr. whorton (jasonwho) have an '87? One with 700+ problems? ;)

Maybe one of its problems is not a too-short clutch cable!

Drop him a PM.

He's on this thread
