    clutch cable reassembly

    putting the clutch cable back on, and it certainly appears we've lost a piece. can't find it in the manuals or parts fiches ...

    what does the missing part look like? how does this cable connect to the clutch actuator rod?



    I know the cable goes through the top of the primary cover ... end shown for perspective.

    there should be a nipple that fits over the end of the cable which then fits into the actuator arm

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      Any idea where on the parts fiche I might find that nipple? I have a bin of miscellaneous stuff I can diff through to see if the po included it when we bought the bike

                  They'll probably have to order it from Suzuki but there's no telling. I'd give them a call with the part number on hand. Or, since you're closer to Florida, give Boulevard Suzuki the call.
