Motorcycle Repair: clutch cable, clutch cables, clutch cable


Question
hi there, please tell me why i'm breaking clutch cables every 3 months or so on my t140e.

Answer
Well Brooke that's a tricky one...as I'm sure you know...Are you buying the thick nylon-lined cable? Are there any kinks in the cable, particularly where the nipple goes into the lever at either end? Is the clutch particularly heavy? No use to you I realise, but I had a cable on my Royal Wedding for 13 years, so it must be one of the above. Does the nipple come off or does the cable snap?
Sorry to be so vague
