Rear Hand Brake Cable – Yamaha PW50 (1981–2026)

Fits (quick view):

• PW50 (1981–2026)

The rear hand brake cable on a PW50 cops a lot of use, especially with younger riders who rely heavily on the rear brake. Over time the cable can stretch, drag, or start fraying, which leads to a spongy lever feel and inconsistent braking.

This is a direct replacement rear hand brake cable designed to match the OEM length and fitment, so it installs properly without any modifications or awkward routing. Ideal for bringing the rear brake feel back to how it should be — smooth, responsive, and predictable.

Perfect for general servicing, rebuilds, or replacing an old cable that’s starting to feel heavy or not returning cleanly.

Common signs it’s time to replace:

• Rear brake lever feels stiff or heavy

• Cable is frayed or worn

• Poor or inconsistent rear braking

• Lever doesn’t return smoothly
