Clutch
gwcrim:
I'm not saying this is the culprit, but did you thoroughly lube your new cable?
rdcjohn:
What should I lube it with? Thank you for all of your help. The bike is officially back together. I just need to ride it now. I will try and get a pic
mikesmith:
Rocky Mtn has a cable luber for $12.99 and lube for $4.59.Or use a can of Tri-Flow,elevate the end of the disconnected cable,make a funnel out of tape, fill it with lube and let gravity do its thing.You can get a adjustable lever/perch from Fly Racing,Works Connection or Pro Circuit,be leary of the cheaper lever.My pivot bolt for the lever bearing must be made of butter!Veary cheap!.Why not lengthen the lever for no money and a little work,unless you have to pay a welder. And even then?
Rick:
Yup, the cheaper Fly lever with the little spring steel piece that engages the adjuster is not the right ticket. The lever that uses the ball bearings in the adjuster is the right lever. However, you must remove the allen screws and add loctite, as these little guys will back out drop the spring and ball on the ground.

I just dangle mine from the ceiling and drip motor oil down in over the course of a few days.
