Clutch cable - goes round/through what?

Post by CBRNugget » Fri Dec 09, 2011 1:35 pm

Hey, have been trying to fit a new clutch cable to the NC23 and have found that the cable is "too short"...

I do not have an original cable as the one that came with the bike had seized up and has been too long anyway.

So... please can someone tell me where does it get threaded through/around, in between the 2 points from the clutch lever and the engine?

Thank you!

Hey guys... :oops:

Tried some more ways to thread the clutch cable to but all to no avail. The cable is still "too short". At the moment I have it coming out from the right of the engine, go along the right of the engine to the front of the bike; thread under the bolt to the frame, up through the hole in the plastic/rubber parts by the air duct, round the headstock and j-j-ust reach the clutch lever clamp but not close enough to hook onto the lever.

Tried threading it over the bolt on the right but it did not make enough of a difference. :down:

Anyone got any suggestions, or where do you buy your cable from? By the way it's a NC23 RRK.

Please - I am not going to try moving the engine forward or anything too smart, alright :whistle: I just want to fit the darn cable. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure the cable is the correct one for your bike, the cable should be 980mm long nipple to nipple.
