Shift Stroke Adjustment - Yamaha T8 Rigging Manual

SHIFT STROKE ADJUSTMENT

If the engine shift cable is over 12 feet in
length, it may be necessary to adjust the actu-
ator shift stroke travel to compensate for exces-
sive cable end play. Shift cable end play can be
measured by holding one end of the cable
while lightly pushing and pulling the opposite
end. If cable movement (end play) exceeds
15mm (0.6 in), adjust actuator stroke as
described below.
1) Loosen the four screws securing the
actuator cover and remove the cover.
2) Move the emergency lever (red) fully in
the direction indicated by the arrow.
3) Move the adjusting pin and spacer of
the shift sensor lever from hole M (the
standard location) to hole L (for longer
travel).
CAUTION:
Do not use the pin location S (short travel).
This will result in travel less than standard
and may result in improper or incomplete
shifting.
NOTE:
Shift strokes at the holes are as shown below.
