Default Installing clutch cable...

05 FXDC, I'm gonna try and install a longer clutch cable this weekend.

Just wonder if there is any adjusting I'll have to do on the transmission end. The lever end doesn't bother me. Never done this before, I have the manual, doesn't look to hard.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Default RE: Installing clutch cable...

After I did the cable replace on my bike I adjusted the clutch on the primary side and then the lever for the free play. Make sure to replace the gasket on the tranny and the o ring on the tranny side as well and the gasket on the derby cover after adjusting the clutch. read your manual for the clutch adjustment, bike should be cold for the clutch adj.
