New clutch needed?

Hi

Ive done about 30k on my SK3 and my clutch cable has nearly run out of adjustment.

Does this mean I need to replace the whole clutch or just the cable?

The clutch still works fine!


Thanks Scubini

PS I tried the search but to no avail.

I was just doing this last night.

Sid - Just to clarify this:

Is this to save you from fart a*sing about with a protractor (not tht I was!) to get it within the 80-85 degree angle of lifter arm to cable?

Thanks Sid

But already done this and theres no adjustment left on either top or bottom cable adjusters despite pushrod adjusted fine.

What now?

Cheers

New cable then. Unless the clutch is slipping.

Many thanks
