Yes I had that problem so I re-routed my clutch cable behind my handlebar and no more problem.

My P clamp is pointing towards the rear of the bike. Which way is your P clamp pointing?

My clamp points toward the rear which put a small dent in my tank after a few full left locks of the handlebar $%^!#@ The new p-clamp is too large IMO.

Thanks Dock Holiday, I believe you may have just helped me find the small leak that I have had for a little while.
