NeverEnough Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 What seems to be the prob? Is the cable seeming too short or too long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo9312 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 well i think its the right length but i just cant seem to get into both of the bezels. i can get it into one but when i try to put it in the other its just too short. I ordered the correct part so im not sure what im doing wrong. 513-907-5147. if you can. give me a call so i can better explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 pop it into the engine side first. Mine had a spring on that side, release the spring so you can get all the slack. The slip it into your lever. You might have to turn the adjustment screw in or out to get it in. Put the little metal piece at the end in first and rotate the cable into its groove. Hook your spring back up, tighten and adjust. You should be good to go. Hope this helps. I just did mine a couple of months ago after it broke and took about 10mins in my parking lot.

chevysoldier Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 alright, managed to get it all in place and its working fine. thanks for the help. Just make sure everything is tight and it is adjusted properly, that is really important. Make sure you read the manual to find out how much slack should be in it. Glad you got it on though.

NeverEnough Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Sorry I totally lost where your thread was.... glad to hear you got it. But yeah what Chevysoldier said, make sure you have proper slack in the lever pull.Not too much and not too little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerb7 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 DO A FULL FULL FULL FULL FULL CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT!!!!Do yourself a favor and do the full clutch adjustment, don't just adjust the cable slack with the adjuster up by the clutch lever.... read your manual and do a full adjustment, just did mine yesterday and GOD it's sexy. It's something that you are suppose to do every 4k miles/12 months so my guess is your due for one anyways (since most people never do it)... it'll make things so much nicer.

I haven't read anything in my manual about a "full" adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 there are "usually" two adjusting nuts near your ignition cover. if its not there (it should be since its a yamaha) then just follow your line until you find something along the lines of two nuts (... )these are your "major" adjustments, these will get you in the ballpark of where you're supposed to be.the dial by the lever is your "minor" adjustment, this is how you fine tune to get it exactly where you are supposed to be.both these major and minor adjustments will add up to a full adjustment.

Oh, yeah I knew about those . Didn't think about that being a full adj. Thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
