Mmmmmm, can't say as how I agree 100% with that. My Geezer has nearly twice as many miles (kilometers) as his & the clutch feels fine. Every new cable will stretch with wear, & I had to take up the slack in my clutch cable within a few months of buying the bike. If the previous owner never bothered doing this, then this might be how his problem occurred. I still maintain that if a visual check shows no problems, & the cable is well lubricated, taking up the slack at the engine end should be the first step.
