Yes, fit a new cable, then you know for certain that it's not going to snap in the near future. Just don't forget that the new one will stretch with use, & will probably need adjusting at the engine end within a few months. :2tup:

BTW, just want to edit & correct my earlier posting of how to adjust the clutch cable at the engine end (must've been thinking of another bike :blush: ) On the gz it's the outer that's adjusted. Near the clutch operating lever (on the engine), the threaded part of the outer is held in a bracket by two nuts. Slacken the nuts, move the outer, then tighten the nuts in their new position.
