if your cable broke 4 inches in from the end, yea get a piece of metal hanger about an inch and jb weld it into the spot the frayed apart, when it dries wrap it in duct tape. It'll hold it together so you can at least ride it to where you need to go.

I have no idea what your talking bout drilling holes in the clutch lever if just the cable broke

 

like a clothes hanger??? ok that makes sense...cool....thanks bra!!!!

 

would jb weld kwik work also??? only store local thats open says thats all they carry....y sundays suck..lol

 

u dont know someone with another one laying around?

 

put some tussin on it

 

crazy *** kid, i would never rig a clutch, id get the old bmx out and get some exercise

 

if u try that **** ur nuts! just wait till u get a cable....geezzzz

 

hanger....hahahaha

 

+1 wait til the cable snaps on you and you **** yourself up. then you'll wish you woulda waited the 4 days til you got a new cable. ****** retarded

 

yup ****** retarded. na Ben, you seem cool but your young so use your head on this one

 

yea man I would have to agree that you are high as ****.....just wait or you WILL regret it you live i cali you will have another day to ride trust me...

 

Just put it in gear then start the bike slip gears. shut it off at a red light then just start it in gear again when it turns green.

 

Use a zip-tie and some bubble gum

 

can you start your bike in gear? if so, you dont really *need* a clutch

 

**** that I would pull a MacGyver and Grab some Jumper
cables Start up the Car and use a couple quaters to weld
that Cable back together...

 

Had this happen to me on my way to work on my 954...cable snapped at the lever. I pulled the frayed end out, wrapped it around my right pointer finger and found that I could still open the throttle bodies manually. I rested my forearm on my the pad of my db bars for support and was REALLY careful. It was a bit hairy with my -1/+5 gearing in Dallas rush hour traffic, but none of my friends with trucks were answering their phones and my *** had to get to work. Rode about 4 miles that way, but didn't dare ride it home. It was sketchy riding one-handed with abrupt throttle inputs...oh yeah, and my footbrake/handbrake didn't work, so when I wanted to slow down I had to drop the throttle cable and grab the front brake. Good times.

Wait for your new cable or go find a Cycle Gear and go through their box of cables.
