Need help replacing clutch cable on my 1984 R80 GS

Tim Collins said 2011-07-12 08:32

Hi there,

I have a 1984 R80 GS. The clutch cable snapped today, and I got a new one at the parts store. I am trying to replace it, but the cable seems to be too short... The housing is the same length as the old one, but the old cable must have been very stretched. Now it cannot reach from the grip to the lever.

Thanks so much for any advice!

Tim
