Hello, I'm going to replace my clutch cable (bike has ~80K and cable is stretched more than I'm comfortable with). What does it make sense that I replace at the same time? Thank you.
Just a side note, it's much easier to remove the air box for the clutch cable install. There's also a small retainer (zip tie as I re-call) attached to the frame which must be cut... Don't bother re-installing the zip tie as it's not really needed.. (I suspect it's there for easier assembly purposes from the factory)
Scott, if you're talking about that retainer in the photo - it can be pulled out without being cut. It's a bit of a pain, but you can reuse it afterwards
That's correct but if you need to adjust the mid section adjuster, it makes it a bit easier to sneak out the cable part ways to access it W/O disassembling the bike..
I suspect that retainer is there just for Yamaha's assembly process.. The cable isn't going anywhere..
