clutch lever goes limp after downshifting. replaced clutch cable still no change still can't put bike in gear. what next?

 

Hi Mr. deemonkey,

Not knowing what year or model bike, how many miles, or past history other than a replaced clutch cable, I would hazard to say that it's time to take apart your clutch, check the steels and fibers for wear, replace if necessary. Also check the springs and replace if necessary. Then again, you might just need to adjust your clutch cable. It's hard to say, not very much information. What does your shop manual say?

Thank you for your indulgence,
