cable or clutch
Hi all having problems with the clutch replaced cable and now the clutch only disengages when the leaver is right on the bar and the cable has no more adjustment ????

Re: cable or clutch
Where are you adjusting it?
There is one adjustment on the lever, another just in front of your right foot.

Re: cable or clutch

Re: cable or clutch
The L2 I'm currently working on has been fitted with some kind of NON Kawasaki after market clutch cable.
It is defo too long and the adjustment cannot take up the slack. Which seems to me to describe your problem exactly.

Re: cable or clutch
No
Unless of course you consider the clutch springs to be "return" springs
