Title: Clutch cable questions.
Post by: ryott52 on May 06, 2011, 09:06:37 PM
Hi y'all. I just replaced my clutch cable, lubed it up properly, routed it properly, set freeplay according to the manual, etc. However, now when the bike is not running, but in gear, and with the clutch pulled in, it is more difficult to roll than in neutral. I haven't noticed a difference between neutral and clutch in while running, but it is a noticeable difference when the bike is not running. Is this anything to be concerned about, or was my previous cable just worn out and this is how it is supposed to be? Thanks.
