).
4. Turn the alternator cover over.
NOTE
The clutch will not operate smoothly
if a flat on the push screw shaft is not
opposite the

(B,
Figure 43
) as described in the
next step.
5. Rotate the push screw shaft so a flat is opposite
the

) over the
post on the alternator cover.

Eight.
2. Disconnect the clutch cable from the hand lever
as follows:
a. At the handlebar, slide the clutch cable boot
(A,
Figure 44
) away from the adjuster.
b. Loosen the clutch cable locknut (B,
