4. Checkfor correct tension on the forward
drive belt by taking two measurements of
the cable spring, as follows:
a. With the Forward Clutch Bail (Y,Fig. 2-
6) in an open (released)position, measure
the length of the cable spring (W) from the
outermost coil to the outermost coil.
b. Squeeze the Forward Clutch Bail against
the handlebar (see Fig. 2-7) and re-mea-
sure the spring length. The belt tension is
correct if this second measurement is be-
tween 1/16" to 3/16" longer than the first
measurement. If so, turn the hex nut (Z,
Fig. 2-7) tightly against the cable adjuster
(X) while preventing the cable adjuster
from turning.
c. If the spring length is incorrect, you
must adjust the cabletension as described
in Checkingand Adjusting Forward Drive
Belt Tensionin Section 5. Incorrect cable
tension can result in belt slippage (cable
tension too loose), or unintentional tine
movement when the clutch bail is in Neu-
tral (cabletension too tight).

STEP 5: INSTALL REVERSE CLUTCH
CABLE (MODEL 634A ONLY)
1. Unwrap the reverse clutch cable (CC,
Fig. 2-8 and Fig. 2-9) from its shipping po-

Forward Clutch Bail.
2. Insertthe cable(CC,Fig. 2-8)through the
slot in the cablebracketand position the flat
side of the threadedassembly next to the
flat side of the hole. Slidethe hex nut (DD)
up the cable and tighten it securely.
3. Fastenthe reverse clutch cable to the
left side handlebar with a cabletie (EE,Fig.
2-9).
4. Testthe function ofthe reverseclutch by
pulling out and releasingthe cable knob.
