Clutch Problems

[hondaredrider]

i installed a new clutch cable about a month ago, and still to this day it's hard to pull and it bugs me. i checked to make sure it wasn't bindingd up and it's not. it's a Motion Pro cable, and i also checked both adjusters. could my clutch springs be bad?? any ideas??

You need to look to be sure the cable wasn't burnt on the pipe. I have had a couple that have done this. Also spray some cable lube in there to help it be a little smoother!

Just spray some wd40 or cable lube down the cable and check your clutch springs? Most likely it needs to be lubed. Good luck.:)

cool thanx fellas. i'll try the cable lube first, if that doesn't work i'll check the clutch springs.
