Hey guys.....this one is for anyone with a new V7. After putting the first 160 km on mine this weekend, my clutch cable failed. Luckily I was able to pull into a parking lot and stall the bike. Was just a bit unsettling as a new rider to grab the clutch to downshift and have nothing but air when I pulled it.
Come to discover that the cable was not properly secured and was in contact with the right cylinder head. Cable got so hot that it stretched when I grabbed the clutch.
I suggest that anyone with a low mileage bike have a quick look at the routing of the cables.
