Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?

My bike is stranded and i need to replace the cable to move it.

Honda VTX1300 2006.

I'm guessing the end that goes on the lifter is relatively simple but I have never looked at the clutch lever before.



Thanks for any help.Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?Good luck on push starting a vtx1300 anyway!



Put the cable in the handlebar side first, it's just a slip in end with a metal disc, and the cable routes thru the slit in the lever. Run the cable to the casing side, and you'll see the lever where the other side attaches. Use a flat head screwdriver to push the lever forward by hand, and slip the cable in the slot on the lever. When you let go of the lever, the slack will tighten up on the cable. Be sure you route the whole cable as the old one was, to insure theres no obsrtuctions, or pinching of the cable along the way. Adjust the cable at the bottom to take out any initial slack if needed, and do the final adjustments at the clutch lever adjuster.Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?np....glad to help! ride safe

Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?its fairly straight forward, it just has and end piece to clip it on. you dont actually need the clutch to get it home. just get a rolling start and click it in to gear. and get neutral before you stop. its easy enough.Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?One tip ?do the routing before you take your old cable out.
