Ahhh, the old bread bag tie to keep the clutch cable in.

Previous owner knew how to do it! :)

I would be glad if I were you that I found that. Nothing is more fun than being stuck on the road with a broken clutch cable. You can probably get one from Honda or others. We should have a thread of "Interesting Things POs did to pur bikes. I am sure it would be a horror show.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

There was a thread on this site recently that asked that question about previous PO's

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

haha, yes, it is a 550 four.

The cable is fine, it was just so unadjusted that it kept coming out, so the PO tied it in with a bread bag tie.

I adjusted the cable, and now its fine, I thought it was kind of funny.

But lets be honest, who hasn't used something like to fix a problem before, im pretty sure some of my bikes in the past were 80% duct tape :)
