CABLE CLUTCH 68-71 250/441/B50 (Replaces 40-8615 40-8654 42-8775 60-0966)
Clutch cable for BSA/Triumph unit singles, part number 60-2083, replacing earlier numbers 40-8615, 40-8654, 42-8775, and 60-0966.
This is the clutch cable for the BSA and Triumph unit-construction singles, part number 60-2083, covering the 250/441/B50 range built between 1968 and 1971 according to the catalog listing. It replaces earlier numbers 40-8615, 40-8654, 42-8775, and 60-0966, so if your parts book or an old cable in your hand shows one of those numbers, this is the current equivalent.

The clutch cable runs from the clutch lever on the handlebar down to the clutch release mechanism at the gearbox, and it's what lets you pull the lever in and have the clutch actually disengage. These wear out from age, fraying, and stretch, and a sticky or snapping clutch cable is a common enough headache on these singles that it's worth keeping a spare on hand.
This one also carries the MC734 alternate part number in our records. Given the range of models and years this cable has covered over its production life, it's worth double-checking against your bike's specifics before you order, since single-cylinder BSA/Triumph clutch setups changed some over the years.
