sounds like your clutch has wore past its adjusted point. Lossen up the clutch cable lock nuts, and adjust your cable in or out. You can adjust when your clutch begins to grab by doing this. I hope this helps!

Have you tried to adjust it yet with the cable you have on it? If not, it may just need to be adjusted, not a new cable. I would try to adjust it before you do anything with the new cable.

sounds like you have it adjusted out too much so your cable is always holding your clutch out a little bit.if you get it adjusted properly and and it still slips some then youve worn out your clutch by doing this.remember you have more adjustment at the clutch end of the cable not just the lever end.
