Broke my second clutch cable at 23,000 miles, not sure when I broke the first, some where around 5,000.....I think.
At least this time I got a warning, felt some of the strands breaking and could still engauge the clutch a little. Got turned around and rode 40 miles back home, made it without having to come to a complete stop,that's luck. Had my spare on in about 1 hour and back on the road.
To all the nubies on the forum be forewarned, your clutch cable will break......kind of makes you feel real comforitable doesn't it. Get a spare! If your going on a long trip, bring it along, you never know when it's going to break.:2thumbs:

My clutch cable broke at 4200 miles. It broke right at the ferrule on the transmission end. Got a new one at BDMPP and got it up and running again in a few days. ($77)

Sent the old one in to Barnett and they did a 100% free warranty repair on my original in a one day turnaround. Now I have a much needed spare. The cable on my bike (2010 Bulldog) is 2" over stock length.

Both cables have a slightly different ferrule than the original.
