Topic: 75 400F clutch cable replacement

[Joel]

I ordered a new clutch cable and was trying to install it today.  The new one does not have an adjuster on the crankcase end.  The old cable has an adjuster on it but it will not slide off over the cable end.  There have been quite a few oddball parts used by the previous owner so I wouldn't be surprised if the cable and adjuster were from something else.

I haven't been able to find anything in the manual about replacing the cable.  Should it be possible to slide the correct adjuster over the cable end for this bike?

Yes the adjusters should come off the cable as it's a separate part. The adjuster bolt/nut is not part of the cable.

Check if the new cable end will go through the old adjuster centre hole - if so, cut the old cable and use it.

The ends of both cables are about the same size.  The hole in the adjuster on my old cable is barely bigger than the cable diameter so I'm sure it won't fit over the new cable.  It's probably the wrong part and I'll just have to find the correct one.

I used the adjuster off the bar end....SO I have two...one at the bar and one on the crank cover.
