What is a Motorcycle Clutch Cable?

A motorcycle clutch cable is a metal cable housed in a thick vinyl or plastic lining. This cable attaches to your handlebar lever and clutch. When you pull the lever your motorcycle clutch cable is there to disengage the engine from the drivetrain so you can break or shift your motorcycle.

If your motorcycle clutch cable is not in good condition it can cause a variety of problems with your motorcycle. If the cable is frayed inside the sleeve the cable can hang-up causing the clutch to not disengage. Malfunctions like this can cause the clutch to partially disengage and eventually overheat and fail. If the cable is stretched or not adjusted correctly, the results will be the same.
