[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 110020, member: 425"] This is good info. Perhaps the cable IS perfect. The rest of the mechanism may be whats out of adjustment. Looking at your actual clutch mechanism, there isn't much to go wrong. Some have adjustment at the pressure plate. Yours does not. This means, all the tension/adjustment lies solely within the cable and perch. Here in this image (22) is a ball bearing. This ball bearing can crush slightly and cause a hanging clutch. [ATTACH=full]9633[/ATTACH] Not sure how your perch adjusts, but it could be slipping threads when used. The cable may be visually perfect, but stretch inside the sleeve or lead ends. If one strand slips in it's lead crimp, the cable will "twist stretch," which is when part of the wire bundle is allowed to move while the other wires bear all the tension. This leads to a quickly compromised cable. In a cable, the braiding makes the individual wires are longer than the assembled cable. So if wires are allowed to slacken and allow others to "straighten", the cable gets longer. So... 1. Clean/Check perch hardware and adjusting components. 2. Remove cable completely, straighten, and examine. 3. Check the ball bearing (22) while you have the clutch apart. 4. Re-assemble, re-adjust, pray... 5. Get back to us. We are here to get you back on the bike without purchasing expensive items that may not be the issue. -BIG DAN EDIT: Springs in forks, shocks, and clutches are painted to designate compression values.
