Good hint: Tape the new cable onto the old one then remove the old one by pulling it out one end, this'll draw the new one right into the same position as the old one, dead easy.

Could you also grease the new cable at the same time as you are drawing it through?

You don't actually draw a new cable through the outer. You replace the whole thing. You could (I suppose) squirt oil down the outer before replacing it though.

Fixed it.

30 mins. Easy job.

Remove saddle
Lift tank
Remove sprocket cover
Undo the adjuster nut at the sprocket end
Remove cable nipple at the sprocket end (there is a little retaining tab neat the nipple that needs to be bent so that you can remove the nipple)
Pull the old cable out through the bike, noting the routing
Feed the new cable through
Connect up at lever end first
Insert the adjuster into the sprocket end
Replace nipple
Adjust clutch

Put it all back together.
