HiYa all,

My 2007 Electra X, the decompressor lever broke in in Lefthand plastic switchgear. I'm told this is common as its normally used to operate a choke on a carburettor. so I bought a new switchgear, Genuine Minda .I tried to fit the cable and it looks like I am missing a ferrule or a spacer?.

Quite possible, and I'm not sure the parts book is much help this time. Get in touch with out hosts, they will have something to sort your cable out.

If possible I would use a separate lever for the decompressor the type fitted to nearly all singles in the 50s and 60s

Hope this help's Dai

Yes, I just checked on my bike's Minda setup, which has the plastic lever for the decompressor. There is supposed to be a separate split ferrule on the end of the cable. If the cable broke, it probably fell out at the time because it's a loose fit in the switchgear mount.

Here you go, it's part #10:

My bike has the throttle on the other handlebar
Here’s the one on my bike’s decompressor cable:

I owe the parts book an apology!

Hi everyone, thanks for all your advice, will be ordering the ferrule and some consumables to help with the postage.
