Okay ... 03 Chopper. I'm on my third clutch cable now in around 3 years .
That's counting what was on it when I bought it.
After about a hours use my cable stretches. No matter what I've done. Needs adjustment, needs to have the housing adjuster backed out . I've been lubing it with P1 cable lube .
Current cable is maybe a year and light riding and I've used up all the travel in the adjustment.. I just added a shim to the end where it meets the hand control to get some adjustment back. I basically took a lock washer widen the gap to slip over wire cable portion and flattened it .
The two cables were from partsking, not the Barrett cable .. I'd try one of those but usually they are out of stock. I does seem to me when new I'm well past the mid point in the adjustment travel so that's a little frustrating since they keep stretching it seems. And not alot of adjustment travel.
I've inspected the cable and lever end looks in good shape .
Clutch pull pressure seems good . Doesn't feel overly stressed .
What's the history of the easy pull ramp.. I kinda assumed/read it applied more to the later year models like 05 and up ?
I'd be willing to put a easy pull ramp if takes stress of the cable and applies to 03 model year bike. Seriously considering going direct to Barrett for cable .
Thanks for any info you all might have .
