Default Clutch Cable Help

Never been able to understand why my '12 RKC clutch cable rattles against the crash bar, so I took a look at the manual. (RTFM, right?)

The routing diagram shows the cable through a 'P' clamp on the left side top of fork. The hole in the 'P' faces aft in the diagram and is on wrong on my bike ('P' is forward).

So the question for anyone is ... if the cable is freed at the clutch lever will the 'eye' pass through the 'P' clamp so I can reverse it.

Thought I would ask before doing, guess I could just do it and see but asking is good, right?

Otherwise going to have to pull the whole cable just because someone at the factory or dealer had a bad day.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Undo the bolt holding the clamp. Remove clamp. Reverse position. Reinstall clamp.

It's quicker and easier than removing the cable.

Mine is also zip tied to the frame (I think). Zip ties can fix many ails.

+1 on what was said above. You can even get fancy colored or chrome zip ties as well if you don't like my favorite color...black.
