Title: throttle and clutch cables
Post by: nikabele on December 22, 2015, 01:12:20 PM: Just curious what people are running cable wise on their bikes. Does everyone run the stock kx500 cables? If so how is the slack with those cables. Just curios because I am tall and run a tall setup and need to know if I need to get some cables custom made to make up for the height of my setup.

Are they the same length as the oem kx500 cables?
