Default 300ex clutch exploded

I just took my bike to ride today, and I put it on the trailer, no problem. When I got home to take it off, I found that the clutch lever no longer had any slack, and the lever was about twice as hard to pull, and my bike was perpetually in neutral. I have no idea why, I baby this thing like none other. Never transported in gear, plastic taken off after every ride, everything cleaned and lubed, etc. It has less than 30 hours on it. Why, God, why.

Make sure your cable didnt break some strands and bind up.

I'm still stuck on the fact you remove your plastic after every ride. There is your problem right there, the quad is to used to being sparkling clean!

I pulled it in and heard a click and it magically started working. My spidey senses tell me that somewhere a cable housing got wedged in a cable cup wrong or the cable end nub wasnt seated in the little lever coming out of the clutch case. Taking plastics off isnt too hard. It's only like 15 bolts on the 300ex so I can get in all the cracks and crevaaaas-es and put armor all everywhere. It likes me now and I like it back.
