clutch cable question..rotax motor

Postby 95SaxonTour » Mon May 31, 2010 12:08 am

How does one adjust the clutch cable at the case? I think this is the
coarse adjustment point. Any tips?

Thanks, Ryan

picture 1 remove plastic plug with coin or flat washer

picture 2 my hand made tool an old wrench with a socket pressed into it

picture 3 use flat blade screw driver and wrench to adjust clutch cable
wrench was made by forcing a socket of correct size into an old spanner wrench
with an arbor press

other plug hole is used to hook up cable end when you change cable

cable hooks in a slot lay down on floor and look up in hole with a flash light
adjust the slack adjuster up top so you have some adjustment room plus or minus
then do the bottom

warning do not cross thread the plastic plugs when replacing
and do put a couple on your order from rotax as spares and carry them on a road trip

hope this helps dave
left click to enlarge pictures
ps this bike is bad about ripping the ends off the cable at the top end
due to bending at the top ..the brass feral being the wrong size on some cables and binds in the pivot hole
