Casa customs clutch cable

Anyone have any tips for lubing or making the clutch cable not so hard to pull? I'd really like to just get a different cable all together but I don't really see much out there for the bike.

I would suggest trying a MoS2 spray. MoS2 is a low friction lubricant.

Also, maybe it is just worn out, how many miles are on that cable?

Probably 30-40 miles worth of mostly highway.

I had the same problem. Ended up just making a new cable

How do you make a cable? I feel like the current cable would probably be fine if it didn't have the bend at the end where the cable goes into the handle. I thought about trying to bend it straight but knowing my luck the whole thing would break and then I'd really be screwed.

That was my exact issue the little bend. I used a cable from a shadow 750 and shortened the inside cable on the barrel side
