When doing a PDI you barely had time to scratch your arse never mind outthink mr Honda mate!!

Ah OK - the original manual must be right. That said, I got my bike when it had only 1800 miles on it. I suspect it was like that from the factory. May be I should move it

I can see the sense for the cable guide ring being secured  horizontally if the cable is re-routed  over the coils to give a bigger arc.
Mr Honda liked to put all the cables through that front chromed clip which seems to confirm the position of the rear guide on the engine breather cover - the guide's rubber sleeve and clearance from the engine ensures cable survival I would think.  The coils get a tougher time !

I've only ever seen that cable loop attached to the top of the cam cover, at least on bikes that I know have never been molested.

Just got in from work and after reading this discussion. Apart from thinking I should have called this thread "where does the clutch cable bracket go".. I had a good look at mine and then had a really good look at the diagram again and have blown it right up.....

First off it looks pretty at home on the coil bracket. 

But more interestingly after blowing the diagram up to doesnt really apearr to be fixed to anything...so perhaps this is where the confusion is ...that it was completely open to interpretation

Hi trigg
Did you get the pm
As the site does not seem to save sent Pm's in sent message folder (Steve is this correct)

[SteveD CB500K0]

Two things about PMs:

1. The forum default is not to save sent messages in the "Sent Messages" folder. You have to set this in your forum profile under Personal Messaging (don't worry - I just set yours for you...)

2. If you reply to the email notification (you know, the email that says "Do not reply to this email"), it won't go anywhere. I got sick of receiving them and decided to let the server dump them.

Now, the "Save a copy in my outbox" checkbox should be ticked by default and you have a record of everything you've sent.

I have never known the forum "not send" a PM - if you think they are not getting through, check the above.

Like I say it looks quite t home on the coils
Sorry about the real close up but I had to reduce it so much to get past the what's it's name that counts the pixels / mega bites do dah

I've upped the limit from 400k to 1Mb (per attachment)

4Mb total per post

If you can't fit your picture in 1Mb then we don't want to see it!  (much)

The workshop illustration shows the cable guide being quite distant from the rearward coil bolt. Must be attached to a cover bolt?

PLEASE: Someone put a end to this
