Title: Can't get the clutch lever off
Post by: zirconx on March 31, 2004, 05:52:19 PM
I tried to 10 minutes to figure out how to get the clutch lever off, but couldn't get it.   I took the bolt out, and loosened the cable.  But it feels like it still attached to something in there.   Any trick to it?

Thanks,

Go about 40 and lay it down on the left side...heheheh...just kidding.  Never had to take mine off, but look alot like my nighthawk (which I did lay down left in some gravel), and it came right off.  If it was damaged, it maybe jammed or wedged...

Did you disconnect the cable all the way?  I think there is a switch on the underside that needs to be taken off also.

Yep, finally got it figured out.  I had to disconnect and remove the clutch switch.  Then I got it put back together and it wouldn't start, so I took it apart and put it back together again.  Works great now.

I wasn't as patient as you.  I pulled the lever out and broke the switch.   :x   Anyways, I just shorted the clutch switch instead of replacing it.  It was always an annoying feature to me anyways.

ASLAM.
