Frayed clutch cable.

Tylor · 07-05-2008

Hey guys I did a search and didn't find a whole lot with regards to a frayed clutch cable. I noticed on my way home last night it's frayed really bad, basically rode home in 1st gear.

I feel like I really only have like a few squeezes left in it. It is frayed right there on the clutch handle bar. Is this something I could do myself to replace? I haven't seen much documentation on the interwebs for this. If someone could point me to a write up on this with some pictures it would be nice. I don't know if I could make it to the shop or not with the cable I have left, and I don't have a truck. That's why I'd like to do it myself.

Anyways thanks for the help. I ride a ZX-6.

Looks like the entire cable assembly comes with the purchase of a new clutch cable, not just the cable. Should be pretty straight forward. Good luck and welcome to the forum!
