How do you replace the clutch cable on a 1996 Honda 750 Nighthawk?

Answer 1

The clutch cable consist of an inner wire with two small metal pieces at each end. The wire moves within an outer sheath made of strong material. The small metal pieces at each end fit into holes in their respective places, as you should verify at the cable's upper and lower end. Begin at the clutch lever on the handlebar. Loosen the adjustment nuts to make the wire slack inside the cable. Align the open slots on the adjustment piece in a straight line. The cable can be removed with pliers and freed out of the slot. The lower end is removed in a similar way after the inside wire has sufficient slack. The clutch cable is fastened with clips to the motorcycle frame and is easily removed from these after it is free at both ends. Inserting the new cable is done from its lower end, then the upper end is fastened and adjusted at the clutch lever. Make sure to adjust the clutch cable is such a way that as you start pulling the lever then the clutch will begin to work at once. Don't leave a slack.
