    My cable is also worn, halfway through sheath wall. They didnt bend then oem bracket..it is straight. I have slipped some plastic tubing along the length of the oem bracket, its length is just short of the bracket and expanded the end of the bracket so the tubing that i slipped over acts like a roller. Play in the clutch cable is satisfactory. Thanks to you guys who bumped this issue.I had missed it. If you have a Terra this forum should be studied.
    There really should be a dealer directed set a classes that are obligatory to attend (lol) before you turn the key. I suspect if ktm hadnt bought husky out these issues would have been corrected with future builds.

    Checked mine today, yup! POS factory clamp not doing anything except cutting into the cable sheath. I replaced the clamp w/a heavy duty Harley clamp, and put a 6" piece of shrink tube over the damaged cable.
