There must not be any tension

clutch grip in the disengaged (up) position.
These clutches are a safety feature. Do not
override their function.
Attaching Shift Rod
• Place the shift lever in the sixth (6) speed.
• Place the bent end of the shift rod into the hole in the
shift arm assembly. See Figure 10. Secure with 5/16
flat washer and hairpin clip from group D of the
hardware pack.
• Thread ferrule (included in group C) from the right
side onto the other end of the shift rod till it lines up
with the upper hole in the shift lever (beneath the
handle panel). While aligning the ferrule, push
down on the shift rod and the shift arm assembly
as far as it will go.
NOTE: You may have to pull the shift lever out of the
sixth speed position and move it towards the fifth speed
position until the ferrule slides into the hole without
force.
Once the ferrule slides into the hole, turn it
counter-clockwise one more full turn and insert it
in the hole in the shift lever. For proper positioning
of the ferrule and the associated hardware, see
Figure 10.

the slot in the handle panel. Do not feed the cable
through the same side of the slot as the Z fitting.
• Place the cable barrel fitting into the hole in the
trigger. You can find the triggers and associated
hardware in group H of the hardware pack. See

should not be able to pull the cable out of the trigger
housing.
Place the right turn trigger in position underneath
the right handle. Insert screw, from group G of the
hardware pack, into the hole on the handle and the
weld nut molded on the turn trigger assembly. See
Figure 5. Tighten screw with a Philips screw driver.
