Cable Comparison
Clutch Cable
What is it?
- A clutch cable allows the vehicle to change gear
Why Replace?
- They break, the constant stress of the cable sliding in and out causes a break at one of the end.
- The cable casing gets damaged due to being close to moving parts, damaged housing causes the cable to bend and corrode.
When to replace?
- A common sign that your clutch cable is damaged and needs replacing is if the clutch lever is stiff or your gear shifts aren’t smooth
Throttle Cable
What is it?
- The engine of your bike needs air and fuel to run. When you turn the throttle, it connects to the pull cable and pulls open the butterfly valve. This allows air to enter the intake manifold
Choke Cable
What is it?
- A choke cable is designed to restrict the flow of air in the carburettor of an engine
Choke Facts
- There is no harm using the choke to start an engine. When it’s cold, it can be a necessity to get started
- Using it a choke will only lead to increase fuel usage, but no damage to the vehicle.
Pull Throttle Cable
What is it?
- This is the cable that pulls open the valve when you turn the throttle. It allows air to get into your engine
When to replace?
- You should replace your throttle cables after three years or 10,000 miles
- If a cable breaks, frays, or you change your handlebar you will need a different cable as well
Push Pull Throttle Cable
What is it?
- A dual cable throttle operation where the pull cable opens the throttle plates, while the push cable, along with a throttle return spring, closes the throttle plates
Installing Tip
- When installing a new cable, make sure to note the routing of the original cable. Also, the dimensions of the new cables must be identical, allowing for the fact that old cables do stretch over time.
Maintenance
- After a race or as often as possible after washing to remove the cables from the bike and flush them through with a blast of air. Also the nipples can also be lubricated, with copper grease
Push Throttle Cable
What is it?
- The push cable is a safety addition, there is a spring that will close the valve whenever the throttle isn’t activated but if the spring fails the push cable safely closes the valve.
When to replace?
- You should replace your throttle cables after three years or 10,000 miles
- If a cable breaks, frays, or you change your handlebar you will need a different cable as well

So as the title suggests the cable is a good three inches too short on a 1982 Kawasaki kz550. I have it routed in a way that it “works”, but it’s definitely a concern. I greased the cable up and everything seems to be working fine so far.
