So something of a sad update on our New Mexico adventure...On Tuesday we were on our way to Greenie Peak outside of Red River, and having a great go of it. I was running in 4 Lo, hubs unlocked, crawling up the trail. We came to a split in the trail and stopped to double check the map and make sure we were heading the right way when I noticed I had no control of the clutch! I was pretty sure I knew what the culprit was, and checked the clutch cable. Where it passes by the exhaust manifold, it had gotten hot enough to melt the outer sheathing and render the cable useless! The PO of my 'Kick had a second 'Kick he had built and used it for off road adventuring. He had told me when we were chatting one time he had melted his clutch cable, not one, but twice under similar circumstances. He blamed the header he had installed. But he said crawling in 1st gear, lo range he lost his clutch. He said this happened at the same place on the same track twice! Well, we got turned around, and nursed back down to Red River in low gear, having all the fun that comes with not being able to disengage the clutch. I was able to make a field repair with some metal rod and half dozen hose clamps. Now the clutch is working as well as it did before until I can get a new cable. Other than that, we had a lot of fun, and even with the small incident, it did not leave us stranded!
