i had the same problem with my lrd exhaust. i zip tied the cable to the frame and i also put a piece of heatshield material on the cable where it comes close to the pipe. so far it has worked really well.

you can wrap something like chicken wire around it.. i did that with mine.. works great.. make sure you wrap it loose.. I used metal wire to tie it up..

you can get a stock 250X clutch cable. they r longer then the stock 400ex cable and u will never have a problem again.

well the zip tie only worked alright, but i did see the cable touched the header again so i then put some heat shielding on the cable and now its fine. you do have to zip tie it kind of loose or it actually makes the cable closer to the header. ill try and post a pic of how i have it done.
