1 Unable to obtain clutch cable slack on K75 Paralever conversion Thu Apr 17, 2014 11:04 pm

Hi, I replaced the Monolever transmission/drivetrain on my K75 with a Paralever from a 95 K1100LT. I'm trying to get the clutch cable adjusted and it's not cooperating. I've followed the instructions in the K1100 manual to the letter but cannot adjust slack into the cable.
I am wondering if it is possible that I should be using the K75 pushrod in the K1100 transmission, and not the K1100 pushrod that came with the Paralever transmission. Can someone confirm or deny this?
Clymers says to replace the clutch cable if one cannot adjust the slack. I'm using the K75 clutch cable, which I know was fully operational with the original transmission and not stretched. Could this symptom be caused by misrouting of the clutch cable? I've chosen the most direct routing possible but I can detect a slightly greater resistance when the steering is at left lock.
