This economy clutch cable is suitable for use on the 1969 BSA 650 twins with the US-specification handlebars. May also be suitable for fitment to 1969 A50 models with US-specified handlebars. Not suitable for the 1970 and later BSA twins with the revised clutch actuator assembly.
Emgo reproduction cables are supplied in original lengths for stock vintage British motorcycles and are ideal for those on a budget. The overall length is 58-1/2″, with a sheath length of 55-1/2″, and an inner wire free length of 2-1/4″.
The cable is the link between the control lever on the handlebar and the clutch actuator inside the outer gearbox cover. When the control lever is pulled in, the cable pulls the clutch operating lever, disengaging the clutch to allow gear selection. It is important that the cable adaptor, abutment, and spring-loaded cable connector assembly are all fitted to ensure proper clutch action.
The barrel end of the cable is captured by the control lever with the wire fed through the slotted adjuster and locking nut. With the adjuster on the control lever fully collapsed, the cable is routed through the slotted adaptor and abutment. The pear-shaped end is captured by the connector that passes through the inner timing cover. It is advisable to pay close attention to the routing of the cable to avoid adding unnecessary friction to the movement of the inner wire.Â
