Hi guys,i need some help.
I have changed my clutch cable because everyday become heavier.When i change it it was very good and light.Now it becomes a little heavy something like more friction.Is it possible to find a more heavy duty clutch cable for this job as i do not want hydraylic because i do not trust so much the mechanics here?

Check how close it is to the exhaust as they can melt, try some heat protection sleeve on your next one, failing that take one end off and try work some oil through it.

I suppose you could fabricate the pedal and clutch arm to accept two cables and then heat shield both to be safe but if you can do that then you should be able to convert to hydraulic with similar effort, tools and skills.

I am just using the reyland conversion and it is very good.
