Section 2: Assembly
ST^ 4: Install Forward Clutch Cable
1. Place the forward clutch cable bracket
(P, Fig. 2-4) on the handlebar support (A).
Attach the cable bracket using a 1/4“-20 x
1-1/4’ hex hd. screw (R, Fig. 2-4) and
1/4"-20 hex locknut (S). Tighten securely.
2 . Carefully unwrap the forward clutch
cable (the cable without a knob attached to
It) from its shipping position and slide the
thin cable wire (T, Fig. 2-4) into the slot in
the cable bracket. Push the cable connector
(U, Fig. 2-4) up through the hoie in the
bracket until the groove in the connector
snaps into place on the bracket.
3. Insert the #10-24 x 2“ slotted hd. screw
(V, Fig. 2-5) down into the cable spring
(W). The threaded end of the screw will
extend from the bottom of the spring.
4. Thread the #10-24 hex nut (Z) on the
slotted head screw (V). Thread it halfway up.
5. Thread screw (V) into cable adjuster (X).
6
.
Hook cable spring (W, Fig. 2-6) into “V”-
shaped bend in the forward clutch bail (Y).
7. Lift and hold the Forward Clutch bail
against the handlebar. See Fig. 2-7.
8 . Measure the length of the cable spring
between the ends of the coils (Fig. 2-7).
The length should be approximately 1-7/8“.
If the length is correct, turn the #10-24 hex
nut (Z) down tightly against the cable
adjuster (X) while holding the adjuster in
place. See Figure 2-7. If the length is
incorrect, you must make an adjustment to
the cable tension as described in
“Checking and Adjusting Forward Drive
Belt Tension” in Section 5. When the
spring length is correct, tighten the hex nut
(Z) against the cable adjuster (X).
STEP 5:
Cable
Install Reverse Clutch
1. Remove the two pre-installed self-tapping
screws (AA, Fig. 2-8) from the handlebars.
2. Position the reverse cable mounting
bracket (BB, Fig. 2-8) as shown and
reinstall the two self-tapping screws.
3. Unwrap the reverse clutch cable (the
cable with a knob and a large hex nut
attached to It) from around its shipping
position and route the cable (CC, Fig. 2-8
and Fig. 2-9) up to the cabie bracket (BB,
Fig. 2-8). Be sure that the cabie goes
beneath the Forward Clutch Bail as it is
routed up to the cabie bracket.
