Clutch cable length

I had a similar issue with my 99 AMC box, could not decide the best position for the operating lever. Its position can be varied by the position of the clutch center screw and the temptation is to set it to work with the cable length you have, there is however the correct position to get the best leverage to the ball and the cable adjustment should be secondary ,resolder if neccessry to correct this.

Hi George,

If you don't want to move the nipple on the inner cable yourself (as per Robert's suggestion) there are a couple of other options for you: 1) Would the standard Dominator clutch cable for laydown box models fit? This might work if the same handlebar clutch lever was used on both ES2 & Dommie 2) Carrot Cycles offer a custom cable making service. If you send them your cable as a pattern and the distance you need to move the nipple they will either modify your existing cable or make up a new one (or do both and have a spare).

I use Bakers fluid ,stick solder and a deep spoon which i heat over the gas to make a sort of solder pot , with this i can control the area the solder gets to . Only when the wife is out though ,otherwise all control is lost!.

I think that you mentioned visiting Redruth in a previous post. Take your old cable in to MY motors and ask Ross to make one of the correct length for you.
