Carefully unwrap the forward clutch cable from its 

shipping position and slide the thin cable wire into the slot 

in the cable bracket. Push the cable connector up through 

the hole in the bracket until the groove in the connector 

snaps into place. See Fig. 3-4.

Thread the #10-24 hex nut halfway onto the screw which 

runs through the spring. See Inset Fig. 3-6.

Thread the screw into the cable adjuster.

Check for the correct tension on the forward drive belt by 

taking two measurements of the cable spring, as follows:

With the Forward Clutch Bail in an open (released) 

position, measure the length of the cable spring 

from the outermost coil to the outermost coil. See 

Fig. 3-6.

Squeeze the Forward Clutch Bail against the 

handlebar (see Fig. 3-6) and re-measure the spring 

length. The belt tension is correct if this second 

measurement is between 1⁄16” to 3⁄16” longer than 

the first measurement. If so, turn the hex nut tightly 

against the cable adjuster while preventing the 

cable adjuster from turning.
If the spring length is incorrect, you must adjust 

the cable tension as described in the Maintenance 

& Adjustments Section under Forward Drive Belt. 

Incorrect cable tension can result in belt slippage 

(cable tension too loose), or unintentional tine 

movement when the clutch bail is in Neutral (cable 

tension too tight).
