Grrr .. the clutch cable on my R1100gs has started to fray @ the clutch lever .. is it easy to replace without having to strip half the bike or take the tank off ... cheers
Clutch cable replacement
- Thread starter West coast gser
- Start date
Yep easy enough to do - don't have to take anything off.
If I remember - there is a plastic bush that goes round the clutch lever end of the cable. If this is missing or if the clutch lever hole is elongated it causes the cable to fray.
I used to keep my spare cable in place on the bike with a bag cable tied over each end so that when it did snap and I was riding all I had to do was connect it.

Well changed cable today..what a friggin.pain in th ass tryin to get into the clutch adjuster @ the gearbox end ...grrr..
A bit fiddly admitted, but did mine on the side of a Spanish road with the on board tool kit and a multi-tool 
Jeez dunno how you managed that..I adjusted the cable to 12mm but there wasn't any free play so had to slacken off the one at the gearbox ..what a faff..yeah now I know what Bmw stands for...Bikes Made Weird ..
