O.K guys yesterday when i got home from work i could,nt get the bike into neutral until i turned the engine off (could,nt get out of first to be precise) noticed on the way home tonight that i really had to press hard to get into gears,when stopped at lights i could,nt get out of first until the bike started to move again,also when i pull the clutch lever in i only have to move it a millimeter or so and i hit the bite point or stall it :rolleyes .Do you think it is the clutch cable and if so is it a easy change.
Fully adjusted at the lever end will have to give it a try at the adjuster end, i,m changing the air filter this weekend so removing the tank so just incase it is the cable will it be made much easy to change it?
Have you got a manual? It's all explained in there how to adjust at the lower end of the cable. I also wrote how to do it on here a couple of weeks back, not sure where though?
If it doesn't sort it you may have a frayed/knackered cable.
If that's the case then i would suggest only buying an original Yamaha cable, and when you have unhooked both ends, tape the new one to the old one before removing it so that you can pull it through and it will be routed correctly in the same way. If you start guessing where it goes it could cause you more problems.
After adjusting the lower end first, then the top end, hopefully it will sort it out.
This is definitely worth a read while you're at it.

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
Make sure you give the front-sprocket area a good clean up too as it can get pretty crudded up in there.
