Hey Wilbur-T, One thing you also want to watch out for is the cable end binding at the barrel end instead of pivoting/rotating in the lever end...same also at the hand lever. What happens is when you wash your bike, you wash away lubrication on the barrel ends of the cable and they can eventually bind and break because the cable is having to do all the flexing instead of the barrel end rotating. I learned this the hard way years ago on my Harley. It would snap clutch cables right where the cable meets the end barrel. I've gotten into the habit of spraying some lubricant on every thing that moves such as folding footrest, handlever pivots, brake and shifter mechanisims...after washing my bikes. Waiting till the service manual says to do so is inviting problems. Good luck Will.
