Default Burly Clutch Cable, Did they fix the issue?

I am about to 12s on my bike and was wondering if Burly fixed that issue they had with the clutch cable binding/sticking? It may have been a year or so I heard about it, but I heard it multiple times. Anyone on here have any problems with the kits nowadays?

I just replaced mine with the Burly last month and helped a buddy do his last weekend. Neither of us have any issues with the binding. We both went with 12's also and like them.
The only issue with the Burly are the length of everything. I could have easily have gotten the 14's and used the 12" cable kit and still had plenty of extra. I may put in a longer riser to take up some of the slack.
Other than that, great kit.

Same here. I installed mine almost 2 years ago and no issues but when I installed them I sprayed some lube in the cables (Graphite Lubricant)
