Joey if you have a local Suzuki Shop they should Have one in Stock.
thanks, i tried and they have to order it , its going to be in on tues ill make due till then. but thank you.
If you need it now, check if your local shops have a clutch cable in stock for other bikes. The cables are all about the same, so if you find one that's just a little longer it should work for you. Just bring in your broken one to make sure that it'll be close enough.
If your sleeve is okay you can probally use most other longer cables and cut them down.
In a real pnch, try a bycycle shop and/or a hardware store, you can probally Jurry rig something to get you buy for a few days.
If neither of the above Ideas work, you could just ride it without a clutch. I've done it temporarally when mine broke. The only tricky part is starting out on hills. you can shift without the clutch easilly enough and without doing any dammage, downshifts are a little bit tricky but easy once you get the hang of it. If at all possible, avoid complete stops at lights just slow down enough so that by the time you get there it's green. If you do need to stop, put it in neutral. when it's time to move again, just push it forward at a fast walking pace and then it shuld slip right into first with no grinding!
