Motorcycle Repair: 1981 yamaha 850 special, local bike shop, clutch lever


Question
can you tell me or give me a site that will explain or show me how to replace my clutch cable?thanks johnny veee.

Answer
Johnny,
 Don't know of one.  Pick yourself up a copy of the Haynes or Clymer aftermarket manual at your local bike shop or order one online for about $20.  It's fairly straight foward, loosten and remove both locknut mounts both on the side cover and the clutch lever perch. Swing inner cable around so that the end anchor (small cyindrical shape) can slide out of the lever and clutch arm on side cover.  Replace in reverse and adjust play, you want a little free play just before the lever starts to pull the clutch (about 1/16 - 1/8")
