The right kind of clutch cable for an m02 morini, and the clever little clip that actually engages the clutch.
So I snapped the cable off the clutch lever of the Pilot the other day, and as a result, I went to San Fransisco to buy a new clutch cable (not really for that, but I did go to SF and get a clutch cable). When I got home, I discovered two things:
- The people who designed the bike were not stupid
- I bought the wrong kind of cable!
Grr. The extra little bit above the very end nub prevents it from being able to be pulled, since the bottom nub makes the clip coming out of the engine rub against the guide. Unfortunately, I had not removed the guide all the way and really given the system a peek until after I had bought the new cable. Fortunately, a bike shifter cable is the perfect size, looks to be pretty strong, and is available in abundance in Somerville. After picking one up, I managed to rig it up so that it can sort of engage the clutch. It is tricky to get it engaged, but for the time being, yay testing!
Any way you can post a few pictures on the routing the clutch cable takes from the lever. I’ve recently adopted the same bike sans the clutch cable.
I no longer have the bike, but it goes under the gas tank near the head tube and pops out the other side.
hey where did you get the replacement clutch cable? mine snapped off and I need one
I just got a bike shifter cable, ran it though the old housing, and knarped it to the controls.
im actually in search of the guide part the threads into the engine case. mine snapped the other day.. any idea where to get that piece?
Probably treats. I dont have the morini anymore, but I know who does. I will probably see it soon, and if you want I can measure the threads for you.
ya thatd be great. thanks
