Clutch cables enable the rider to operate the clutch. They consist of a flexible steel cable that runs from the clutch lever on the handlebar to the clutch mechanism on the engine.
Pulling or pushing the clutch lever activates the clutch cable, causing the clutch plates to separate. This allows the rider to change gears without transmitting power from the engine to the transmission.
The clutch cables should be checked regularly for wear, damage or excessive stretching. Smooth clutch cable operation is important to ensure precise and controlled clutch action.
When necessary, clutch cables should be serviced or replaced according to the manufacturer's specifications. It is advisable to use high quality clutch cables to ensure reliable and long lasting operation of the clutch system and to enable smooth shifting.
