My clutch cable snapped a while back.  I was away from home so I had to use my Jedi skills and use the force to make it home.   I had some difficulty sourcing one so I ordered one from ebay from a seller in England.  Anyway it showed up in a little over a week and went right on.  I should have gotten it sooner as the clutch action is like butter.

The cable went on perfectly by moving the handlebar adjustment all the way in and the installing and then adjusting it. Fit and ends were the correct dimensions.  On ebay search under XZ550 clutch cable and it's the one that says OE Quailty.    Seller is  motorcycle_recycle and the price shipped is around $30.  I'm sure you can find cheaper, but sometimes it's better for me to use ebay and paypal then to dig for a part and then find my wallet.
