Motorcycle Clutch Cables for Honda CB900C
The Honda CB900C Custom cruiser bike lets you travel in style, with a laid-back frame and speed. If the clutch cables break on your motorcycle it can cause serious problems, especially if you use your on a regular basis. With a large selection to choose from you can find the right replacement clutch cable and start cruising your Honda CB990C again.
How do Honda CB900C cables work?These cables attach to the handlebar lever on one end and to the manual transmission system on the other. In the CB900C, the cable runs from the lever across the front and then down past the light to the transmission. When you pull the lever, the cable signals that its time to remove pressure on the transmission from the bikes engine. This release action lets you change gears or keep the bike in neutral. When you release the lever, springs apply pressure to the transmission again, putting your CB900C in gear. These cables include three critical pieces: the cable and two connector ends. If any of these pieces break, you will have to replace the entire cable. A broken CB900C cable will make it difficult to ride for any length of time without damaging either your transmission or your engine.
How can you find the right cable for your bike?The Honda CB900C has a standard-size cable. You will often find cables stating they also match other Honda models such as the 750C. Thats because cable length and the connection parts are the same for these Honda models. However, they will not be the same for all Honda motorcycles. In order to be safe, you should always search by make and model and not simply by length. Even if a cable has the correct length, it also needs the correct connectors for a Honda bike of this type. As long as you make sure to search by the exact model, you can be sure to find the correct part.
Can you adjust play in the cable?Although this CB900C part comes in a standard length, you can adjust the amount of play at the front attachment point. This will change the rate at which pulling on the cable interacts with the bikes transmission mechanism, making it more or less sensitive. Some play is necessary for the proper functioning of your transmission system. Depending on your grip and hand-size, adjusting the play can make changing gears easier.
