Spot of trouble with clutch

Absolutely, just wanted to point out that as long as there is enough slack to work with it's not a tough operation and shouldn't require any real force, just figured Wrecka was possibly trying to mount it below when it was already mounted up top which is not going to fly, always need to do any mounting and adjusting down by the engine first and the last step is hooking up the grip (with maximum slack in the cable at the lower end to make that possible). I did some cursing of my own the first time I was replacing it, had been a decade or more since I last did any cable work. :)
I definitely learnt from this exercise

As it happens, me too - I wasn't aware of the dots on the lever and the shaft. Came in handy just now, replaced the clutch lever on the engine with a chrome part to match the chrome/stainless cable I also just put on. Absolutely nobody is going to notice that but me but that's fine. :) Throttle cables going on tomorrow after some shuteye and work.

And on a side note, Barnett makes good cables. The clutch action got considerably smoother with their cable and all the fittings are great, and now I could route it properly (as it is 3 inches over stock to work with the Rivco risers).
 
my dots are off by one spline, but that's just the way it ended up being after I had lost my preload when I went through what you just did..it's fine though..been that way a few years..make sure ya keep that 2-3 mm on the handle end..

Yeah mines the same mate one spline off , yep very paranoid about cable tension now a few people warned me it can lead to mechanical failure ( meaning big $$$$ )
