Thanks for making this. I am a new rider of vulcan s. Learnt so much from ur video. Thanks for keeping things simple as clear to understand.

Hi Arlen. Brand new rider as of July 24, 2023. 2002 Vulcan bobber. Clutch cable snapped on the road but was able to get home. With your video, I was able to replace the cable Sat night and was riding the next day. Thank you so much for saving me time and money. I’m officially a grease monkey and I love it! Thanks again!

Glad I was able to help!

Thank you for your great instructions on installing the clutch can't wait to go and pick up my new clutch. Ride with the wind in your face and the sun on your back.

The inner sleeve of modern cables is made of teflon, to reduce friction. Usually, is not a good idea to apply WD40 to teflon, because it contains some solvents which can be aggressive on teflon and damage it. Maybe, a solvent-less lubricant such as the good ol' Motul MC Care P4 E. Z. Lube, or the WD40 Silicone Lubricant, is preferable. Anyway, super video! 😀👍

Awesome video. My cable snapped on my way home from work. My wife had to help me tow it home. After watching this video I easily replaced mine. Thank you so much for explaining so well.

I’ve watched hundreds of diy videos on car and motorcycle repairs and this is easily one my favorite ones. Straight to the point with a clear view and directions. Thank you!

perfect amount of info. no unnecessary attempts at humour. logical, practical and presented for all levels. thanks Arien

Glad I could be of service! Happy riding

I must have watched your video a half a dozen times… and thanks to your clear instructions I successfully changed out my snapped cable. Thank you!

Brilliant Tutorial! Completed without being stressed out, and with no cussing and fussing. To Whom it may concern: for clutch lever adjustment: the manual says 2-3 mm's of clutch lever play- a nickel coin is 2 mm, and a quarter is 1.75 mm's. 2 quarters are: 1.75 +1.75 = 3.5. So I think I will just use a nickel: which is 2 mm's for the adjustment.

Cable just busted. Perfect video man, thanks.

good video, but word of warning the actuation arm should not be rotated around as far as you did. As internally you can disengage the internal connection from the clutch push rod. It’s then impossible to get the clutch to work with out dismantling the whole side of the engine. I know i’ve got the tee shirt, my clutch push rod ended up bent.

Thanks for that. Replaced clutch cable in no time.

Thanks for sharing! I saved in favorites in case I ever have to replace my clutch cable 😎

I use this video before i purchased a Kawasaki maintenance manual thank you for the excellent instructions i appreciate it. 🗨️😎👍

Thanks for the video I took my clutch cable off and it was couple weeks before I got my new cable that I bought online so I just got it here a month later after I ordered it so I kind of forgot exactly how I took it off so this video is very helpful I was also a little bit confused and how to adjust the cable so you made it all real understandable, so I'm on my way to get er' done!

@@arlenburroughs5014 yeah what I'm riding is a 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan vn800b I'm 62 now have a lot of problems with my hips and knees and feet . I had a 2004 1700 cc Yamaha. it was great on the highways but just a little too much for me to handle in town. Every stop sign every red light anytime I have to stop it's really hard on my feet and knees so I decided I wasn't going to ride anymore .then this sweet little 800 came along and I thought yeah ! maybe I should try it just a lighter bike and it really has worked out. I don't get as sore and it's just easier for me to handle but yeah still the clutch cable replacement was still the same as on your 900. Funny ! sometimes people ask me what my bike is and I tell them it's a 900 Kawasaki hahaha ive had non riderz ask if itz a Harley,beacause the guy i brought it from put alot of aftermarket partz on it, and itz loud so they think its a Harley .😎👌👍L.M.F.A.O.!!!!!

Awesome vid. Clear and concise. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for this video just got a 09 vulcan and noticed my clutch a bit off and this helped me fix my problem 100% thank you !!! 👍

thanks for making this man, very clear instructions

Perfect! Thanks for the tutorial. That's exactly what I needed to know. BTW, I'm also in KC. I grew up about a mile north of the sports complex. I just rode my blue Vulcan 800 past it today.

Awesome job on the video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 Thank you for your time sir. 🙏🏻

Thank you. This was just what I needed.

that was a great help for me, thx mate! Great vid!

Really good video. Gets right to the point, I like no wasted time on stuff not important.

Super useful adjustment info. Thanks.

Appreciate your soul for this!❤️

Thank you so much for posting this!

Perfect !! muchas Gracias !! Thanks a lot !!

Muchas gracias, quedo muy bien mi cable del clutch

Just need to adjust my clutch on Nomad but after after watching this video, I can go a head and replace an entire cable 😂

Well done my friend! 🙏✌️

Thanks bro! Super helpful

Great video!

Thanks

Great Video!

Apparently custom and classic are similar except the exhaust shield on the classic is maybe fatter. The access on my Classic was not quite the same. Just a smidgen tighter. Enough to make it a miserable job. 🤦‍♂️🤬😂 Next time I’ll remember to remove my front exhaust shield. Appreciate your video!! Thanks for posting!!

Спасибо за видео. Подписался. Поменял сцепление на своём "МАЛЫШЕ" (VN900 classic), а трос не отрегулировал, сейчас пойду делать регулировку.

Thankss Very help me😊

10/10 👍

Спасибо за инструкцию камрад 👍

Brazil. Tankyou

Thanks I missed the center adjuster

I just bought a 900 that looks just like this one. Nice bike btw. But my paperwork doesn't quite say exactly what type of bike I have. People always ask me what it is and I can only say it's a Vulcan 900. I hear of Classics, Customs or this,that and the other...what type is it??? Anybody input would be appreciated

This in video is the custom. The classic and classic LT are the same. The ones with big wheel up front and floor boards. Lt comes with windshield and sissy bar, classic does not. As far as drivetrain all 3 models are ifentical from 06 to current. They just change colors each year. Testimate to how good and reliable of a platform you have and why there are so many aftermarket options. Its a great bike.

Well I can't get the clutch to disengage the motor shuts down can you help me.

Would it be roughly be the same for a 800?

You could've saved yourself a lot of time by tying off the new cable to the bottom of the old and let it guide the new cable through. Also, wd40 isn't the best lubricant for cables. They make actual cable lube

Did you have clutch slipping after this I do I changed clutch plates and followed your video I can't get it right

@arlenburroughs5014

Is there not enough movement before you feel "weight" of the clutch lever? I would try adjusting it so there is 3-4 "quarters" room before you feel clutch weight just to be sure the slipping isn't related to your cable

8:20 You need more bolt on yhe left side, so you can slide the rubber over the threat.

I can't figure out how it works I bought a new cable and it just won't line up. I hate it so fucking much I would rather rebuild the Motor than play with the clutch cable. I have it on there tight and the bike still won't move when I pull the clutch in

You didn't link a part number I'm having trouble finding the proper size

Most all kawi dealers have a "parts finder" tool that is quite handy. freedomcycles.dealerspikeparts.com/oemparts/a/kaw/500b52e4f8700223e4796592/cables Looks like 54011-0069 was the part for my bike.
