RATHER STIFF - Must try harder

As I've been tinkering in the garage again today, I wheeled the Lawson down the drive for a few photo's in the sunshine :P Then I ran the bike up and went to ride it back up the slope...... but the clutch was stiff as buggery :shock: In fact it wouldn't pull in at all :cry:

After a bit of phaffing around - sprox casing off..... It turned out that where I had routed the cable, it had been touching the exhaust & even though it has a spring round the case, it had melted away & must have gummed up the cable, through the spiral outer metal sheath :??

Thats one brand new clutch cable shagged then :oops:

go hydraulic - no cables to worry about then.
