    Decided to ride for a few hours after work this evening.. got about an hour into my ride and the clutch cable sheared at the lever making for an interesting ride back.. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this previously? I did notice the clutch becoming a bit less bitey but i assumed it was just due to a new bike breaking in so I had tightened the hand adjustment up top on the bars a bit.. Is it possible i went a few too many clicks?

    If you overtightened the cable, the first symptom would be a slipping clutch, not a broken cable.

    Mine was frayed with only 3 strands of cable left when I looked at it a few weeks ago. Same spot. It made it 2 yrs, so no complaints. But, one of those things I will keep an eye on from now on.

    It happens. Mine was frayed when I bought the bike. Good thing I did a once over before my first ride.

    Mine did the same thing last week at Hatfield McCoy, at the bottom of a black trail. Fun fun fun! That cable lasted a year.

    My throttle cable on my cr 250(husky) did this. I learned my lesson and with every bike now ziptye a spare cable alongside existing one.
