Answer
In order the repalce the cable you have to remove the primary cover. You have to adjust the cable so it is the shortest and remove the cable from the clutch lever. Adjust the chain adjuster so its at its lowest point and remove the cover. You will see where the cable attaches to the clutch ramp. replace the clutch cable and reinstall. Push the cable towards the back of the bike and adjust the clutch. then adjust the cable. Adjust the chain adjuster.Add oil tot he primary and your set
Good luck and happy riding
