Hi everyone,
Just when I was getting ready to sell the bike (450 rebel, 26K), the clutch cable went! Luckily I was slowing to a stop and was only 5 blocks from my house.
I ordered a new cable and can pick it up tomorrow. The guy at the shop said it may be something I can do myself (he wanted to save me a $75 tow if possible!).
I am not near the bike now (I'm at work). I looked at it when I left though and the cable is still attached to the clutch handle thing, so it must have come off somewhere else.
My question is: Is rethreading a cable through the housing difficult on a 450. I have the manual, but not the cylmer manual. I have done very little wrenching on my own. I'm just wondering how big a deal I am getting into. I don't mind the tow fee if I need to, but it would be great not to have to spend that $75.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks all,
K
