STEP 4: Install Forward Clutch Cable
1. Place the forward clutch cable bracket (P, Fig.
2-4) on the handlebar support (A). Attach the
cable bracket using a 1/4"-20 x 1-1/4" hex hd.
screw (R, Fig. 2-4) and
1/4"-20 hex locknut (S). Tighten securely.

2. Carefully unwrap the forward clutch cable
(the cable without a knob attached to it) from its
shipping position and slide the thin cable wire
(T, Fig. 2-4) into the slot in the cable bracket.
Push the cable connector (U, Fig. 2-4) up
through the hole in the bracket until the groove
in the connector snaps into place on the bracket.

3. Insert the #10-24 x 2" slotted hd. screw (V,
Fig. 2-5) down into the cable spring (W). The
screw threads will extend down through the
spring.

7. Check for correct tension on the forward
drive belt by taking two measurements of the
cable spring as follows:

cable spring as follows:
a. With the forward clutch bail (Y, Fig. 2-6) in
an open (released) position, measure and
carefully note the overall length of the
cable spring (W) by measuring from the
outermost coil to the outermost coil.

outermost coil to the outermost coil.
b. Lift and hold the forward clutch bail
against the handlebar (see Fig. 2-7) and
re-measure the overall length of the coils
while the spring is under tension. The belt
tension is correct if this second measure-
ment is between 1/16" -to- 3/16" longer
than the first measurement. If so, turn the
hex nut (Z, Fig. 2-7) tightly against the
cable adjuster (X) while preventing the
adjuster from turning.

c. If the spring length is incorrect, you must
make an adjustment to the cable tension
as described in “Checking and Adjusting
Forward Drive Belt Tension” in Section 5.
Incorrect tension on the forward drive belt
can result in belt slippage (tension too
loose) or unintentional tine movement
when the clutch bail is in Neutral (tension
too tight).
