Sq 4 adjusting the clutch cable

Post by Gui.dorey »

Hi everyone,

Does anybody have any tricks on how to adjust the clutch cable? The adjuster is hidden behind all the oil pipes and I can’t get to it…

Cheers,
Gui

Can you adjust the cable enough by adjusting the operating lever? This is from Nicholson's book:

Yes, i shall probably have to do that. I just hope there’s enough adjustment there without the lever hitting the inspection cap…

I'm using one with a 'mid-adjuster' (actually up by the bars).
Might be this one:
