Bad PDI from Victor Devine rather than a Honda problem.

Just wondered how you came to that conclusion, is there something in the photo I've missed? Nige

I can't see how the end of a clutch cable can come out like that without it being adjusted incorrectly. Never had one go like that on all the bikes I've owned.

Even a retard like me could tell from the first two lines that it wasn't Al's bike.

I wouldn't worry about the cable unless the problem repeated itself and then I might start asking questions about how the nipple fits in the operating arm.

If there was so much slack in the inner cable to let it escape the release arm I'm surprised the clutch would clear in use! Nige.
