    Clutch Cable Routing

    My 1979 GS750E parts project is coming together, good way to use up saved parts from previous GS projects over the years.

    This morning, I installed the new clutch cable, and set it up so that it seems to work like it should (will obviously know more when carbs get installed and first startups happen).

    I had a look through the Suzuki manual, downloaded from Basscliffs Site, and can find no reference to cable routing. Even looked trough a Clymer manual I had laying around.....nada.

    I'm sure there is a diagram somewhere that shows this info, but no luck yet.

    Love some input, even if it is humourous........

    Thank you, Cipher, I knew I had seen something somewhere in that manual. Cable runs much more neatly now.

      You-mer? You can't find Any reference.

      But now that you've got it correct (if indeed you do), here's a good rule:
      Never remove the old cable until you've routed the new one beside it. Clutch, throttle or choke.

        Oh, yeah, if I have the luxury of working on a complete bike, then parts replacement is easy. This was another bike in baskets (I am a repeat offender), so lots of imagination and asking for assistance is my usual plan.

        Thanks, all, for helping out here.
