      @britshgigolo Mine went and I replaced it with a Slinky glide cable, less then half the price of the OEM one. It was easy to fit and felt solid too. Wemoto sells them;

          I have had nothing but issues with aftermarket cables. I would always now get genuine cables for piece of mind.

            You don't have to push the bike home because you don't have a clutch. You can shift without a clutch. Shifting up is no problem.

            Shifting down you just need to match the rpms. And as for traffic just bang it neutral and do a running jump on the lever.

            I went weeks without a clutch no problems

              The first half of the ride home was all up hill so could not get enough speed to move off but the last part was down hill so did manage to get it going and ride the last part home the main problem was it was rush hour plus every one was going to lakeside shopping so traffic was manic

                Well have ordered the slinky slider as mentioned above but will get a spare to put in the shed so will order a genuine part the other problem now is the clutch push rid has lifted and leaking oil so have ordered new seal as well so will get it striped down and sort that out ready for new cable to arrive

                  @britshgigolo Make sure to clean out the hole where the clutch actuator has lifted out of nicely. Don't want any crap going inside the shaft and creating resistance for the push rods.

                      @britshgigolo It should just push back into the hole, you may have to spin it so it's facing the right direction though. Your seal might not even need replacing.
