my clutch cable snapped on my 01 f4i. I bought the new able but im not sure if there are any special ways to replace that I should know. It seems pretty simple, but if anyone has ever changed theirs could you let me know anything i should know before doing this. Thanks

 

yeah it pretty straight forward how it looks. just remember when you put the new one on that big adjustments are made at the engine case side and small adjustments are made at the clutch hand lever. pull the cable off gently cause the is a spring loaded mechanism in the case. you dont want to pop that off or you have to take the cover off to reset it.

 

is there a DIY anywhere or directions on how to do this?

 

dude its so easy a 10 year old could do it....clutch cables are not hard...just take your old one off...and replace it with the new one

 

how do you adjust it though..

 

I don't know how your bike is set up...but on my f2 there are two adjustments...at the clutch lever...and right before the end of the cable on the engine end there is a fitting that the threaded part goes through...a bolt on each side and adjustments are made there...don't make it too tight...and don't make it too loose....you were probably used to a stretched cable before it broke....you want about an inch of free play at the clutch lever tip, make major adjustments at the engine end of the cable...minor ones at the clutch lever

 

i thought u only wanted an 1/8inch of play (nickel)

 

about an 1/8 inch of free play is measured at the end of the cable going into teh lever. Or where the wire comes out of the tube you should be able to see about that much free play before it starts to engage. Lone is talking about how much at the end of the clutch lever.

 

Thanks for clearing that up TK
Yea that 1/8th at the cable is much more at the lever tip.
