As a slight aside to this, I always remember the clutch being very heavy and clumsy to operate back in my old riding days when these bikes were "new". Quite a lot of it I felt (back then) was due to cable drag/friction and I tried heaps of times to get oil through the cables - with all the improvements in cable technology these days, is there a "best" supplier for cables to reduce the friction/drag inherent in cables eg Teflon linings etc, who also supplies the right lengths, including inner to outer??

Hi Jules

Venhill are the cables to use. They are the best cables I have ever used and always been a perfect fit.

It's how I set mine up, with lever pulled in a bit and ball just touching end of pushrod. Pull lever further in and it starts to push on the pushrod to disengaged the clutch.

Hi Roger,

Excellent diagrams which again show the operating arm leading the push lever by a few degrees.  I recon it's one spline.  The note on clearance is very useful.  If only Haynes had included such quality data........ *smile*
