Hi all,
My clutch cable has started to not return as eagerly as it used to. I'm presuming it needs lubricating but not sure how. Anyone done this before? David ![[Image: 239627.png]](http://badges.fuelly.com/images/smallsig-uk/239627.png)

This happened to me and a few days later the clutch cable broke :'( . It was after 50,000 miles mainly city riding so can't complain.

It is adjusted to the end of the lever screw thread. Not sure how easy it is to adjust at the other end. Is it easy enough to do?

Easy enough to do, but before you do ensure the hole in the clutch lever is not elongated from use, because if it is your wasting your time until you replace it.
Screw in the cable adjuster full at the lever end. Remove the rubber bung on the sprocket cover Loosen the lock nut with a deep spanner ( it will loosen with a crack and frighten the crap out of you) Turn the lock nut anti clockwise a full turn Hold you fingers lightly on the clutch lever Turn the centre screw clockwise with a good fitting flat screwdriver You will feel the lever moving out Keep turning the screw until the lever is about 5 to 6mm from the lever housing. Tighten the locknut. Replace the rubber bung Take the final adjustments at the cable adjuster Read this post also http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,10124...#msg105622
