My 79GS850 has the original clutch cable as far as I know

There are basically only two things to consider
1- Cable routing. If you have kinks and twists, the cable will bind.
2-Full lubrication. Let oil drip through the cable until it runs out the other end, or use a nozzle that permits oil to be forced into the sheath.
If you want the most strength, keep the sheath and make your own cable, using galvanized aircraft wire/cable. !/16 inch cable will let you pick up the entire bike and shake it, which makes a good show for the women, and builds strong wrists.

You're screwed now buddy!Yeah, I know, I know! I will tempt fate again by revealing my good fortune.
Original R/R, stator, petcock, clutch, all cables including speedometer & tachometer, & seat cover. I don't even remember having to replace a headlight bulb, although I replaced one with a Osram Silverstar as an upgrade. Never had a flat on this bike (since 1980). I have some mostly new replacements in case I should need one.
I know you have lots of wood up there to knock on!Comment
