Have refused to answer this poll because I didn't want to jinks myself. Well I finally get to summitt to this poll. Last night was riding home and clutch cable broke. Have around 19,321 miles on bike. It broke at the handle. Thinking of putting a Barnett Platinum Plus Series on. Anyone have this kind of cable, and if so do you know what # to order out of JP Cycle? Thanks

Mine was clicking at the handle when fully pulled, not immediately all the time but sometimes. Seemed worse after replacing the clutch at first then went away completely. Either the weak strands finally broke
or finally the burr broke in, whatever that means. I just know it's gonna suck when it happens.

not enough time 4 riding
Snapped mine today with just over 6300 miles on it. Managed to get into a residential area and get it stopped. Already called Full House and added it to the work to be done next week.

they went to 9 plates in the clutch instead of 12, the pull on the clutch is less, so the load on the cable is lower!!
key to this problum. is to make sure the lever & bottom ends don,t bind while moving this is what brakes the ends off!:zz2cents:

I just broke the clutch cable on my 06 ridgeback. I called Barnett, they can make me a new one but I was wondering if your replacement was OEM or something else since it's lasting so long? I appreciate the information.

clutch kit?
I am on my 3rd cable in 18000 miles. Is there an ez-pull kit available for the baker on my k-9? I am assuming that this would involve changing the cam pulley on the push rod in the tranny side case. Also, if there is such a beast available, does it accept the existing cable or do I have to go to a different length cable?

Both are OEM which is Barnett I believe. Last one is still going strong. I sometimes (all the time) worry about it when I'm on long trips. I should have a spare in the bag.

Broken clutch cable
At around 12k miles, the clutch cable ring at the lever snapped in half while shifting from 3rd to 4th gear. Otherwise, I almost always go in neutral at a stop light.

I contacted Barnett. They do not have a part number. I believe the only part number is Big Dog's part number when you order from them. Barnett asked me for a measurement of the cable. However. Call Biker's Dream Atlanta. I think they have some in stock. 74 bucks plus shipping.

I was riding to base/ work today, and mine snapped while I was coming to a stop. My 06K9 had only 7K on it when I bought her. I had just put about 2K on it when it got me today.... I was thinking about limping it back home, but I wasn't sure how safe it would be to do so. Not gonna try today because I'm already too pissed off behind calling the insurance agent for roadside assistance...
