Clutch cable guide

You take the ring off, it's split, turn it round and fit it back onto the inner ring.

Thanks very muchfor info, I thought it was a solid ring.

I tried it on the end bolt, apart from showing that the ring was a tad rusty, I felt that the cable run wasn't so smooth and the cable bent a bit, I feel the cable got a cleaner run when it is fitted to the back bolt, so I have put it back there, a couple of pics below to show the run when fitted to end bolt.

Think it should be angled more in line with the cable, it's not a guide as such, more of a way of stopping the cable being burnt on the engine.

Yes, possibly, but on the end bolt with the protrusions pointing down as previously suggested, there is no way to adjust the angle due to the protrusions touching the breather box.
It is indeed a strange one.

I am just going to leave my own as it is as I prefer the run of the cable.

Roo, I was cleaning up my PC directory and found this photo of a 'new' 400. Looks like the guide is as Ted says - no doubt I'll end up, moving mine!!

Not sure if this helps, but for what it's worth ...

It's from the Honda set-up instructions.

I agree with your observation - the bolt end anti rotation tabs design does not seem to tally with a back bolt position.
