I cant figure out how to install this new clutch, does anyone know how to? Please post a pic of how the cable connects to the clutch arm please thanks alot.

[JhallettEX]

SOMEONE please help, I just paid 250 for this and they say if i screw it up they cant cover it. Money lost. Someone has to know.

My side cases are out being polished, otherwise I would snap a pic for you. You should have received directions with pictures.

I did, but they suck.......The instructions say they are for a KX 250 / 500. What do yours say.

[oldnumberseven]

Mine had the same directions. But I got mine installed with no problems, maybe you are missing a piece. You know who might have a few pics of one installed is Aaron Wolfe www.400ex.com

Give him a try.

Wonderful, I should have thaught of him, he is the reason why I got one. Anyways can you answer this. The end of the cable is to big to fit in the clutch arm, how do you make it work.

[JhallettEX]

OK i am this far, i cant get the cable to connect to the clutch arm. Is it ok to pull the cable rod out of the slave cylinder to give me more play? I dont want to mess it up. Thanks alot for your help guys. Here are my pics...

why don't you just pull the clutch arm to the cable?

just pry it with a screw driver!

[JhallettEX]

I have tried it will not go any further than in the pic.....I am sorry but I must be a idiot, i cant figue it out and the instructions suck

[400MXer]

That's wierd...that it won't reach.


Just throw the directions away, We are men, who needs directions.

I don't think i would pull the cable out of the slave cylinder. it might mess somehting up. But i don't have one, so i might be wrong.

[JhallettEX]

THanks mxer, anyone else out there have a idea?

[Tommy 17]

well i don't have one but u mayb take it off and put it into the arm first then bolt it down... u may have more levrage that way and it will be easier to pull the arm... its just a suggestion... ist here any more adjustments anywhere else....

[JhallettEX]

Well guys, after about 1 hour I think I finally got it, I hope it is wright. I am very concerned with it. Wont be able to tell for a few days because as you can see in the pic, the motor is torn apart to make way for the new JE 416 and cam. For those considering a Magura clutch, I hope you have some patience.

The instructions from their website are for a CR125/250, but it shows lifting the clutch arm with a hammer. So I'd say you have to be able to pull that clutch arm closer to it.

I am just know getting to read this. Yes you can pull the wire out of the slave. One other thing you have to do is not run the tubing in the same path as the clutch cable. It will get close to the exhaust and melt. (I had this hapen to me at a race) I ran the tube, after I repaired it, along the frame, away from the exhaust. I would show some pics, but my bike is torn down to the frame.

I am interested in how you like that and how much of an improvement it is. So update me if you would.

[JhallettEX]

I love it, I can pull it in with my pinky.

dude it looks to me like you have the slave cylinder on wrong , u need it on between the 2 nuts it looks like , this would put the cable closer to the clutch arm. just look at the first pic you posted compared to the one of aarons . look at the positioning of the slave. yours seems closer to the oil res. than his is.

whoops , i posted before i realized you had it done lol. oh well , i guess my crack that i smoked is kicking in. not really though.
