Nah mate, its easy as piss to swap out.
go buy a new one for around $20
remove your right hand fairing, loosen the nuts at the end of the cable where it connects up with the clutch cover. uncrew the tensioner up where the clutch lever is and remove the cable from the clutch lever.
watch where the cable is weaved through and try to run the new cable around the same place.
then tighten the tensioner by the lever a bit, then the nuts by the clutch cover and adjust it till you are happy with the feel.
Thats what i did, took me 20 minutes. im sure there are other ways which the gurus can tell you, but this worked for me.
