RE: [ST] Time for a new clutch cable?

["Jeremy Witt" <jeremyw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good call, I pulled the handle end out and 3/4 of the wires had broken
right at the pivot.  New Honda one on order, thanks Al!

notice at every stop light, after exiting the highway, that I can smell
burning clutch or brake.  Since it's raining, I figure it can't be
brake, and I haven't noticed any dragging feeling.  Eventually I realize
that the clutch is "suddenly" (not too inattentive, am I?) engaging
very, very close to the hand grip.  I spin out the adjuster several
threads, to the point I'm afraid to go any further, lest the thing fall
out, and not much improvement.
