I did a front-end swap on my '93 K75, and I'm now trying to cut a custom clutch cable. What's the best way to ensure the correct length of the cable and sleeve?
What I came up with (interested in feedback): The bike has a connecting rod between the clutch lifter arm and the kickstand (so that when you pull the clutch, the kickstand goes up). I figured I should cut the cable to length so that when the kickstand is down, and the clutch is not pulled, the lifter is right up against that connecting rod (so that even the slightest pull on the clutch will raise the kickstand). Is this the right approach? Should I add more play in the cable?
