Not brushing you off, But must go to bed now. Its 2 am here in Florida, US
I haven't had a clutch cable break since 1966 and that was on my old BSA 650. Knock on wood. Maybe 50 or 60 motorcycle ago, admittedly some had hydraulic master cylinders for the clutch control mechanism.
I do have one of those gizmos for forcing the oil into the cable housing.
No, wasn't a lube issue. Cable moved freely. Was a manufacturing issue, Lever cable end just pulled off. Its a China thing .lol Its all good now. Went to my pile of old motor cycle junk and scavenged a 1976 DT 400 front brake cable. Also had a cable lock I believe they call it (little barrel with a bolt in it). Made my own connector with part of the Yammy bake arm, Made job look factory as possible and Bob's your Uncle. Tanks for reply though.
Also found a factory China replacement for it . I will go get the receipt out of my Dong Fang file and post the name of the vendor. This way if anyone is searching for the part they may find this post. This way they won't run into a dead end like I did. Not $35 like the one vendor I found. Hell, I can Damn near get a Ducati clutch cable for that . lol I'm not going to pay that for a Chinese mass produced, no QC, Scab labor tin part for crying out loud. The actual part was made for no more than $2 US on a good day.
Clutch cable for China Bobber, Motopartsmax.com, Sku # is 231-999033 $9.95 And possibly free shipping I believe.This is what Chinese motorcycle parts are supposed to cost. I will ride an American or Jap bike if I want to spend more money.
