q Pull the hook lever on the lower motor cover down
to detach the upper motor cover.
w Remove the bracket from the front of the lower
motor cover; then pass cable assembly B and the
remote control cable through the grommet. Install
the grooved tip of the remote control cable in the
bracket and secure the bracket to the lower motor
cover using a Philips 420 screw.
Remarks:
After fully loosening the screw (Philips 420), install
the throttle and clutch cables as shown in the
figure to the right; then tighten the screw again.
e Remove the R pins holding the throttle and
gearshift side cable joints in place and remove
both cable joints.
Screw the cable joint on to the tip of the remote
control cable up to a length of approximately
10 mm.
• While observing the cables, move the remote
control box's remote control lever down in the
forward direction until it stops (approx. 32°).The
cable that moves first is the gearshift cable.
* A distance of 10 mm (0.4 in) is equivalent to about
nine threads on the joint.
