I was changing out the sport screen for the tall windshield on my roadster and it required rerouting the clutch cable back to it's normal position.
Here's what I did:
I loosened the lock nut at the bottom (engine side) and loosened the adjuster as much as possible - still not a lot of play in the cable.
I then released the locknut on the handlebar lever adjuster, aligned the slots in the adjuster and the locknut. So far so good...
The instructions then say "Pull the clutch lever and turn the inner cable anticlockwise through the slots in the adjuster and locknut until the inner cable can be detached from the lever" Yeah, right!
I pulled the clutch cable and no amount of twisting the cable made anything happen to the inner cable. I eventually wrapped a cloth over the adjusting housing and used a vice grips to turn it out - not too easy. Once out I used a dental-pick tool to pop out the end of the cable from the lever and then was able to reroute it.
Can anyone please tell this noob (with pictures if possible) how to get just the cable to pop out without having to remove the adjuster? Obviously it must be possible.
Thanks
