Help me find a longer Oil Cable for my Mountain Max......

how tall a riser are you going with? i found the stock mtn viper to be the longest. rsi or gravityworks has longer cables as well. i think richmotorsports can get these for you.

It's pretty strange though. I had 12" riser and straight bar WITHOUT ext. my cables!

Only the brakehose!
 
cables

got cables from Richmotorsport They were SRX and Mnt Viper Cables. I went with the Tall Adj Rox Risers and have them at 6". Anything after that and the wiring has to be lengthened

well you obviously don't have a 2002 Mountain Max, they are not even close to go any longer then 2.5" taller

I have a 2001 MM... Just have to re-route the oil/throttle cable through the airbox.
 
The stock cables on an '00 are routed around the pipe side of the airbox. If you want taller bars just route them over the top in the little groove in the middle of the air box.

I am running '00 cables on my '97 with 6" riser. The cables are still routed around the box. They are a little tight but they work. The bars them selfs are shorter on the '97 to '99 bars from the handles to the mount by about 1.5".
 
This was already done when I raised mine 2.5" last year, there is not enough room guys, i don't know why no-one believes me, but it just wont' fit routed over the airbox, I ordered a set of cables to fix my problem, another thing that made it harder to route was i have a boost bottle on there and that's preventing me from moving the cable back too much, this may have something to do with that too..

I believe you. Haveing same issue with 99 sx 700. I'm going to try using two powermadd throttle extension kits.
 
good, lol, I have stock bars, but I had a custom steering column made, light weight out of chromemoly and had it made 2.5" longer, the most i could go with stock cables, now I want to add mtn viper bars or put in a 3" extension, I bought a longer brake hose, that was bar tight, and the throttle could go a bit further but not the oil cable, new ones on the way will fix her up..

I have an 02' MM700. I went 4 1/2 inches... You have to reroute the cables. All I needed was a longer brake line.
 
I Have A 2000 Sxr 700 I Used 2 Powermadd Cable Extenders And Put A 6 In Ch Riser On My Stock Bars,you Just Have The Trim The Cable Ends A Hair To Fit Them In The Block For The Oil Pump Cable Ran 1000 Miles With No Issues Looks Sick.
 
Short

Yeah, I believe you too. I have a 2000 and 2001 MM 700. Was told all I could go was 2", so I put 2" on both (powermadd) and I constantly have to stop, pop the hood, and push the oil line back in. Found out the hard way when went through a whole tank of oil (3+ quarts) in less than a tank of gas.

Going to try the route through the airbox trick. Thanks..
