There was likely nothing wrong with your clutch or cable the first time. The CDI/tach issue is primarily a temperature based issue. When the CDI gets warm enough (either from riding or just hot enough ambient temp) the tach will not read accurately.
My bike seems to be fine when the temps are below 80 deg F and I only take short rides here and there. If I ride for more than a half hour or so, or the temp is above 80 and into the 90's or higher, the CDI heats up and the tach acts up. Some have reported loss of power and rough running as well.
File a complaint with NHTSA - the more the better - hopefully we can force Kawi to recall the POS CDI.
