On the site it gives you tips on installing it.....and my new "E-z" pull clutch isnt ez to pull at all, and im thinking it has something to do with this, can someone further explain what this is saying i dont understand it. Thanks

"It is necessary to re-route the clutch cable. It should pass in front of the headers. To accomplish this, it will require bending of the clutch cable bracket at the front of the cylinder, just below the pipe." :confused:

i had the same problem with my clutch cable and header. i zip tied the cable away from the header so it wouldnt get burned

How can you zip tie it to the frame or w/e if its to short to begin with? where would that extra slack come from:eek2:

i wrapped the cable in heat tape to help protect it and then i bent the clip at the base of the engine that holds the cable, then i took up all slack i could to pull the cable away from the exhaust.

There's a little black clip that's mounted on the engine case right below the headers. Looks like a little circle. Your cable should go through it. Bend it down about 3/4 of an inch and it WILL keep the cable away from the header!:eek2:
