Default Clutch cable replacement

Whose done it? Factory cable, not aftermarket. Any tricks? Your turn to help me out !LOL! I'm a big boy so would it be any easier if I took out the drivers seat?

im running a Summit cable no adjuster, and its lasted a while, I previously had a BBK cable and Adjuster and it only lasted a few years.. Its really simple to do, hook the cable under the dash first and make sure someone below has it so it doesnt fall off

I had a problem hooking it to the fork. But i guess it's easier if someone helps you.

hook it up to the clutch fork first then hook it up to the quadrant. using the self adjuster in stock quadrants you can rotate it and easily slide on the cable. very simple 15min thing

im a lil guy so i can leave the seat in, but if your a bigger guy ur gonna want to take it out. lil hands help to. one trick is to put the top on then put the bottom on. its an easy job if u have 2 pplz.

you dont need two people to do it. its very very easy to do the bottom first then go to the clutch quadrant under the dash.
