Author Message   Tpoppa Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 - 11:33 pm:        When my clutch pull starts getting stiff...I adjust the clutch & adjust/lube the cable per the service manual. Afterward it feels light & smooth. Lately it starts to feel stiff again after about 200 miles, it used to be more like 3-4000. Any idea what may be happening? Worn Clutch? Worn Clutch cable? BTW, it an 03 XB9S with 18,000 miles.   Brineusaf Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 - 02:08 am:        Is it the original Clutch Cable? Check for chaffing along the cable?   Tpoppa Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 - 06:23 pm:        Still the original clutch cable, it looks OK.   Xbjelly9s Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 - 06:33 pm:        Change the clutch cable. Just did mine last month at 17500 miles and it was night and day difference.   Fulgur Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 - 10:06 pm:        Don't be heavy handed when you tighten up a clutch cable at the engine case end (where the rubber seal is) they break real easy. .....Fulgur.   Tpoppa Posted on Thursday, April 26, 2007 - 10:11 am:        Does the Primary Cover need to come off to replace the Clutch Cable?
