I had a clutch cable break on my '99. On a Saturday morning, thankfully not 
to far from home. Riding home without the clutch was an interesting and 
enlightening experience. When I finally got a replacement, I went to great trouble to 
lube it with a Castrol product called "Underground Moisture Control". Its 
specifically developed for the mining industry. It took a while to make sure it 
got all the way through the cable. But it was worth the effort. I always 
thought that the Sprint had a slightly heavy clutch, but then found out what a bit 
of lubricant can do! I was planning on doing the same to the throttle cable, 
but alas, a stray dog ended those plans. 

May she rest in peace. *sniff* The best bike I've had so far.
