Clutch pull still very hard...
mattsz:
I just installed my "new" clutch cable; I adjusted the cable per the Honda manual's instructions. The clutch is still very hard to pull. I certainly wouldn't want to ride it this way.
Does the "in/out" action of the clutch adjusting screw as I pull and release look normal? Click on the image for "video"... sorry it's shaky...

It is. I took care to take photos for reference when I removed it, and the photos show the cable run as matching the diagram...

Does the manual state clockwise ? If it does it is wrong like the 750 ;)

I woke up thinking about it - the other two bikes I'm "intimately" familiar with both have a shaft which transmits the linear pulling motion of the cable to a pushing motion which disengages the clutch plates. It appears that Honda uses some sort of threaded arrangement, or rotating cam arrangement, to accomplish that task? If so, I can see where that movement would be expected.

I will try this...

Trigger, I assume you refer to these instructions... are they incorrect?!?
