Check to see if there is now a plastic liner on the cable where it slides inside the sleeve. When I bought a replacement, that's what I noticed.

2007 firebolt sitting on the dealer floor= clutch cable already leaking. Why cant buell make a cable that doesnt leak. Both of my bikes leak, dealer's bike also. My sporty never leaked. What gives.

I just put a new clutch cable on my Lightning this weekend. It did have a plastic liner around the cable within the black rubber case.

What a huge improvement. The clutch lever pulls like "butter" now. Great change by the factory. It's the first time I ever had to change a clutch cable, so I don't know if this is standard for other manufacturers. There was also a plastic sleeve around the nub at the end of the cable that fastens to the lever.

Has anyone else noticed this improvement?
