  • I'm not a mechanic, but I do like a challenge. Sadly, I didn't figure out this fix on the road, but it will work for you if there's a hardware store nearby. This is a temporary fix and it may break again after several minutes or several days. I'm going on four days now and I do deliveries on my bike. Anyway, If you are desperate and you don't want to shift without a clutch to get home (which I did), then this ought to get you going again (unless it's past 9pm and the hardware store is closed). Good luck and ride... however the hell you want because safe is no fun.

      That's great! I wish I had come up with this idea at the moment the cable broke. I rode home by doing a push start and not stopping for 10 miles. Shifting was mildly jolting, more mentally than physically at the thought of mistreating such a wonderful machine.

      Ryan Pitterle I've been there too.. And might i add its a bit easier to push start carborated bikes as oppose to fuel injected...
      Anyways. With your fix I'm confident I'll make it until i get a new cable.

      Late reply but thanks. It was beat up, but it was a damn nice bike no matter what. I wish I still had it. The police stole it.
