This is only a temporary fix as often the cable still needs replacement but this will get you to work for a few more days / weeks etc
Tried this on the Speed Triple t'other day and it turned out to be the cable fraying inside the end of the outer layer and was so sticky it managed to cause the clutch to slip.
Purely as an aside Triumph have no clutch cables in stock in the Uk - strange for a bike 'made' in England.....
