Justin/Sonic is referencing the wreck I had last spring when learning how to ride. It was my first time riding a bike with a clutch and the shifter was broken... I got distracted trying to engage the shifter and accidentally let off the clutch. Wrecked and hurt my arm. Took it 9 mos to heal enough for me to be able to squeeze a clutch again.
Then after that I was having trouble because most of the clutches were too tight for me to pull... and/or my hands were too small to reach and pull. I have a silky smooth clutch cable on the 400 now though
Discovered that it was badly corroded, which is why I was having such a hard time with that one.
