Went for a cheapo priced clutch cable made by TSX.  There's loads of them for sale on ebay and the likes.  Fitted to bike, did a few pootles covering less than 50 miles and noticed my clutch cable was making a metal against metal scraping noise.

 

Here's the culprit

The metal cap was so thin the cable had distorted it and was cutting into the cap.

 

Compared the cable with the old Yamaha one and the difference is huge really.  Yammy cable much thicker.

The caps are also much better quality on the yammy cable.

 

Soooooo, deffo won't be using TSX cables again.  New Yamaha cable is £35 plus p&p :huh:  I might try a slinky glide cable next, can allus use it for a spare if I'm less than happy with it, and buy another one for spare if I am happy with it.  £40 for a simple Yammy clutch cable is a lot.

Great as a touring spare are SG, STD cables are fit and forget - Yam cable should last 10yrs......

Fitted the Slinky Glide clutch cable and it's much better now.  Quality is better than the TSX cable but not quite as good as oem.  Metal cable is thicker than TSX wan and the fittings slighly more robust.
