I wish I had read the other threads about caring a spare clutch cable. I had a week to ride the dragon but my clutch cable snapped and no one near Brevard NC or Knoxville Tn had one! My whole week was planned on doing nothing but Dragon runs with a camera! D'oh!
I'm getting two so I can have a spare, you should have one too!

Where did it break at. You might be able to run it forward (out of the cable casing) from the pivot point on the bottom and just past the place on the engine where the cable adj is at and put a loop in it and pull on it.
I've been carrying one under my seat for seven years.
I think I will be adding a throttle pull cable also.

Ive got a used one, I will give away, just come and get it. :D
They break just where it comes out of the houseing on the lower end, they rub and you have to take something and bend it around so its not rubbing.
Nice job Honda. :banghead:

Yep, you break a throttle cable and you are up a sheet creek.

I ve got flange bearings and other spare part i keep in my shop,

Yes, Honda will leave you on the side of the road, just like HD will.
