•Thread hex nuts (J) onto the “Z” fittings (R). Insert “Z” fitting into hole in clutch grips. See Figure 8.
•Route the left cable between engine and speed selector plate and then between handle panel and clutch lever pivot rod before threading onto the left “Z” fitting.
•Assemble the right cable in the same manner.
•Both cables should have minimal slack, but not tight. Tighten or loosen hex nuts on the “Z” fitting to adjust.
