The engine looks very much like a clone of the XV250 Yamaha Virago.
The Yamaha OEM part number for the clutch cable is 2UJ-26335-01-00
The Zongshen OEM part number for the clutch cable is 72600-M213-0100
I wouldn't take this as Gospel though. If you can get near a xv250 and see if the end fittings and overall length are about right or take your Zongshen cable into a Yamaha spares shop and compare.
The other option would be to actually buy it from ZongShen in the US.

I hear they have parts and are actually selling them.

hey thanks dude. I am guessin that the part number u got is different for eu models? my book shows the same part number, except ending with "0000" this wasnt just a typo i suspect. I am going to order one today from ZA, I had hoped to avoid that since they are NOT the most organized bunch, I have to conclude. I am going to write an updated post on my experience with the 3 Zongshen bikes I bought this year. thanks again for the help!
I've checked the parts list I have and the bike model is quoted as LZX250-5(EC), note the (EC) for European Community, I cant think what difference that would make to the clutch cable.
I have several technical documents for Zongshen bikes. One of them (the Service manual) for the LZX-200GY (AKA: Zipstar, QLink Sierra) is available on this thread:

If you need any more documents, service manuals, parts books, etc let me know.
Things may have improved in the past year or so but the proof is in the pudding. Interested to see how it turns out!

I looked at some pics and it looks close in terms of design. ZA wants $19+$12 UPS to ship it. Further, I dont think the Zongshen cables are very good quality. This one snapped with around 1000 miles on it, and had been properly lubed/adjusted. As far as the Storm goes, it is by far the best designed/built Zongshen of the 3 that I bought. (Sierra and Sport model being the other 2). I have since sold the Sierra, and been steadily trying to get the sport model sold, but it keeps falling apart! Speedo, (first the guage, then the cable/hub counter), headlight and headlight "holder" retainer clip assembly, various nuts and bolts falling off the thing, I still dont have it ready to go. Finally got it inspected/signed off by CHP, but still no plate b/c the bill of sale from Lewpack International isnt adequate b/c it dont contain the phrase "signed under penalty of perjury" un-f******-real, ?
They want 12 bucks to ship it? Fuggin' what? They could roll it up and stick it in a priority envelope for under 10 bucks and it would get to you in 2 days!!! :confused1:
Oh well. I happen to have access to an XV250 so if you need some basic measurements then let me know.
Paz,
