My 06' recently and all of a sudden started to run badly right about 2500 rpm's. It's got near 36,000 miles on it. I found that the clutch free play was huge and that I couldn't even totally disengage it to properly shift gears. I opened the service_manual to reacquaint myself on the clutch adjustment. Took me a few minutes to adjust and all is good. Not completely sure if the 2500 rpm stumble is gone but haven't noticed it since I adjusted the clutch. Sure hope it is. If it did go away then I wonder how that could possibly be clutch related???

Follow your clutch cable all the way down and see if it was rubbing against any wires.

I'm thinking the slack you took up may have given you clearance?

One more thing:
each time I had to adjust my cable like you just did, it was about to pop!
Check up near the top where the cable goes into the lever.

Nat,
Thanks, I'll look.

I ordered a new clutch cable this morning from the local dealer. Over 60 bucks. The original has broken a few strands and I just might stop riding it until the new one arrives because I think it just might break at an inopportune time. I've got my son's 07' to ride anyways.
