Clutch cable

Just replaced my clutch cable. Everything went fine and it works ok but the lever is stiffer now. Any ideas on why? I did the string thing to route it. No extra bends or anything that I can see.

The cap near the top can be used to stop it from slipping back so fast, is that too tight?

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about Fred. On one end I have the lever and adjuster then the other end has the adjustment with the nuts on it. There is a rubber cap kind of a deal that covers the nut end of it. I appreciate all the help here but just not sure. I took the bike for a short ride it works fine. Still won't go into neutral most of the time but otherwise it's fine.

Sorry, my bad. You said Clutch Cable, I thought choke cable. No help at all here.

Did you lubricate the cable before you put it in?

When I changed my clutch cable (years ago) I had to remove the clutch lever to get the cable on. When I relpaced it I noticed it was stiff. I loosened up the nyloc nut just a bit and that freed it up. You might try that. The nyloc nut held in that position and never became looser.
