did one or two last week. ( dont ask ... :smilie_happy: )
some say to tie the new one to the old one . no need to. what you DO have to do is remove a few things to make it easier.
remove the air cleaner box, ( makes it easier to see putting the new one in
on the right hand side, take the engine breather pipe out.
unplug the brake light wires and move them out of the way.
back the adjuster on the lever all the way off. i take the lever out and then remove the cable.
remove the clutch cover on the rear of the engine. bit tight, but it is just two 10 mil bolts.
screw the adjuster, (where the cable goes in ) all the way in.
i used long nosed pliers to get the cable out of the arm. fiddly... :wave:
pull that end of the cable out. the adjuster just sits in the housing.
remove the cable from the bottom. that is, by feeding it out, down between the frame and the tank.
get the lever end of the new one, feed it up between the tank and the frame until you can get the bottom adjuster into the housing.
IMPORTANT....
the cable routing ...
up over the frame in front of the tank.
it goes out between the radiator cap and the headstock, around the steering head and up out between the choke and the instrument cluster.
go back to the bottom end and make sure the adjuster is seated correctly and screwed all the way IN
get the cable into its slot
go up to the handlebar end , i always fit the cable into the lever and then put the lever into the mounting.
i take most of the slack up at the bottom adjuster and " fine adjust " at the lever.
hope this helps.
