Re: Clutch
does the cable not slide through a holder with a nut on each end so it don't come off? and for the nipple to come off the arm then you either have the arm fitted back to front even tho' i'm not entirely sure this is possible or the cable has stretched too much, have you tried adjusting the cable under the fairing??

Re: Clutch
Na it cant be on the wrong way iv been using it for ages to be fair with no probs. maybe something has come off or somet, how do i adjust it under the faring do i need to use a spanner to turn that nut where the nipple stops on. i think maybe the cable has streched but this dont explain that bolt that comes out the clutch case should this come out?
EDIT:
Just had a look at the micro an that thing does come out i think so it mush be the cable i think i streched it or something.

Re: Clutch
it does come out but you need to make sure you relocate it properly when you push it back in otherwise your clutch wont work.

Re: Clutch
its just a matter of adjustment, think you're best doin it on a paddock stand in case the bike runs off when you put the new cable on
