Last monday (while tinkering around in the garage) I deceided to replace the "original" clutch cable. Previous owner just used to lube it, and pull wasn't so bad. So I figured what the hey...!
After removing the gas tank (all of about 30 seconds on a GS),another 50 minutes to remove an install cable, WOW,what a difference!!! And adjustment of cable and lever,was no problem,very easy. Bike had 41,600+ miles on that cable,not bad...eh? Newer cables require no lubrication,cable has some sort of clear plastic sheathing molded on it. (Anything to keep this air head forum moving)
