HOW TO CHECK AND
ADJUST THE CABLES
The cables are adjusted at the factory

sary. If the cables have become
stretched or are sagging adjustment will
be necessary.
Whenever belts are adjusted or re-
placed, the cables will need to be ad-
justed.
To check for correct adjustment, un-
hook "Z" fitting at clutch lever (see
Figure 32).
1. Move clutch lever to the full forward
position (just contacting plastic
bumper). Holding cable tight, note
position of fitting to hole in clutch le-
ver.
