Brake/clutch/throttle lines etc
Permalink  
 


Not sure best place to ask really as it's more general than tuning etc. Anyways I want to replace all the main cables to nice braided ones.

 

What brands etc are best and what would you guys suggest for my '05 DTRE?

 Oh and the speedo cable as well, can that be changed?

Hel or Goodridge for brakes and that's about it, nothing wrong with OEM clutch lines and throttle lines.

Moving to framework mate as it's not general chat, it's still seeking tuning help.

Ok mate i wasn't sure haha. It's more of a cosmetic thing I just want to get them sorted ASAP as my brakes are ****e i rely on the engine to slow me down half the time lol.

And the speedo cable was wrongly routed and i caught it rubbing on the front wheel, almost went through it lol. can you get those ones braided?

Don't think so mate but you can get longer ones though. I just took mine to Yammy parts dept and got them to find me one a little longer. Think it was off an XT

It's definately long enough, possibly too long it looks like someone has changed the cables for dodgy ones lol. Just wondering if braided was an option as to make the bike shiny and sexy rather than black plastic cables lol

Haha engine braking on a 2smoke o.O? What is that???? Lol, anywho, i heard that engine braking is bad for a 2 smoke if you do it alot, say if you're used to a 4 thump, thats why i've always been paranoid and used my brakes whenever i can confuse

Don't know why you guys are laughing. It works so it's not stupid. Anyways should be replacing brake lines/pads and a cheap lever this weekend hopefully....money permitting.
