ATTACHING THE CLUTCH CABLES
The “Z” end of the clutch cables are hooked into the
clutch grips on each handle. Attach cables as
follows.
1.
Thread the hex jam nuts all the way up the
threaded portion of the “Z” ends of the clutch
cables.
2. Make certain each cable is in groove of cable
roller guides. Place the clutch grip in the raised
(up) position.
3. Thread the cable onto the threaded portion of
the “Z” and until there is no slack in the cable,
but the cable is NOT tight. Do not overtighten
cable. See Figure 13.
WARNING: Overtightened of the cable
will create a safety hazard by disallowing
the clutch to disengage. Do NOT
overtighten.
4. When correct adjustment is reached, tighten the
hex jam nut against the bottom portion of the
cable to lock it in position.

lever (beneath the handle panel). Insert the
ferrule into the upper hole in the shift lever from
