Clutch cable

[mat 60]

My bars came in today and while adjusting my new clutch cable when I release the clutch lever it doesn't go all the way back out...Im wondering if there is a problem?...

Not knowing what you did so far, maybe this will help out. Are you sure the cable is correct for the application?

The cable came from hill country along with bars new clutch lever...Im pretty shore of my install....Question ...when you pull in the clutch doesn't it push on a rod with fins on it ....When I had the cover off is that rod going to turn freely?

Which cover are you talking about? Which side, probably the right side sitting on the bike?

yes the right side cover that I had to take off to change the cable.....Do I also need to adjust cluch when I change cable because all I did is adjust cable itself

If it's the right length cable, you shouldn't have to adjust the clutch, however it wouldn't hurt to do it anyway.

Are you sure you got all 3 balls into the ramp when you changed the cable? Squeeze the clutch lever 3 times before adjusting anything to reseat the balls in the ramp too.
