Anyone ever break a clutch/throttle cable and know the number of miles on the bike at the time? Thanks

 

I've heard of clutch cables breaking but haven't seen it happen myself. Thottle/idle cable failures are much more common.

 

Clutch cable broke on my '01 Road King at approx. 52k miles.

 

The Harley clutch cables are pretty heavy. On my old Triumphs, I never go longer than 10,000 miles or I know I'll soon be driving home without a clutch. They seem to break right where they enter the cable housing on the clutch end.

 

I've broken a couple of throttle cables on my old dyna, the first one at about 50,000 but both were the return cables not the acceleration cable. never had a clutch cable go though.

 

Clutch cable on my Big Dog broke with only about 3K miles.

 

man that get bothersome. must be a problem somewere.

 

NO, 53,000

 

81k miles strong and still working.

 

Have just about 53K on my Softail....No Breaky yet
