    Thread the cable on before routing it, that way you just spin cable.

    One key point that you didn't mention is to make sure the new clutch cable adjuster is run all the way up before hooking it up to the ball and ramp mechanism. It will never adjust out correctly if you miss this step.

    • @scotthoult3586

      @Will-uu8ed he loosened the old clutch cable to create slack. The new cable needs to have the adjuster run all the way up before hooking to the ball and ramp mechanism or you will not be able to adjust.

    This has got to be the dumbest design for a clutch cable system, if this shit breaks on the road, you're fucked. Happened to me out on a ride, we were able to patch it back together at the lever, but even if I did have a spare cable with me I'd still be up shit creek.

    Started to change the clutch cable on a 2002 Softail Heritage. Went to disconnect the exhaust pipe and noticed how rusty the bolts were. Then I decided it would be worth having the dealer do this instead of risking breaking a bolt off in the head.

    • @jpcycles

      it's fine thread and can be tricky. Sometimes it's easier to hold the cable upright and turn the trans cover on top of it.
