    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What do you have to remove on the engine to remove the clutch cable ? Clymer manual shows the small cover but that only has the clutch adj. nut. Do Ii have to take off the bigger cover and remove gear shift ? Drain oil ? Is there any where to find this info? I tried the search but nothing came up. Advice ? Doug
 
That is all you have to remove from the engine. You will want to remove the foot peg and shifter and linkage. It will probably be easier to route the new cable with the tank off etc.

Im currently having the same problem with my '80550E, I took off the clutch cover to reveal the nut and screw and loosened them both, but the cable still doesn't want to come out of the clutch... I ended up completely taking out the screw that I thought held in the cable, to no avail.
