Hello,

Are you talking about the screw/slot holder for the clutch cable that is on the clutch cover itself? If so that sucks!
My suggestion would be to locate a professional welder in you area, if you know a really good welder they may be able to make it better than new reinforcing it to hopefully prevent that from happening again; if it is a nice clean break near the bottom that does not effect the thread pattern.
There are a lot of knowledgeable people on here though, maybe someone has a better idea.

or you can get a nut and cut one side open and have it welded on, and i think they even sell a thing to fix that but i'm not sure where

Here is your fix. They are $30.00 but well worth the money. It's called a clutch cable holder. SKU: NC006. http://www.nacsracing.com/htmlcatalo...ble-holder.htm

now thats a cheap fix. I wonder if you could get one for the 85-86 LT. I couldn't find one on the site you posted.

I just did a search on Google and i couldn't find anything for the 85 86. I will keep looking and ask around to see if anyone has seen them anywhere. Why do you have that same problem with yours being broken also?

[suzuki LT250R]

No it just looks like a much better setup and easier to adjust. Let me know if you find one.

i thank you!!!!!!! i just ordered the cable holder that is perfect. my next ? is what do you think of adding a 2" extended swing arm will it effect my jumping,or should i stay with stock length. :p

Extending you axel 2 inches won't affect it too much, but you will notice that your shock will bottom out quicker, and more things will be stressed. It will probably sit a little bit lower also. I've seen quads in mags with minor extensions on their swingarms and they don't seem to have a problem, but when extending, stuff tends to break much much sooner.
