Today as is was puttig my lt230 back togeather, i noticed there is two cables on the clutch lever, one goes to the clutch and the other one goes to the rear brake? What am i missing here? why is that there? However, it looks like you have to add a bolt between the two linkages to make the break work, im just confused why someone would want to beak every time you shift?

 

John, I suspect the lever you are talking about is the decompression lever? #26 in the diagram HERE

 

no, i have the decompresson thats not it, the decompresson is seperate from that whole assembly. it ia an extra cable that isnt hooked up that goes to the rear brake. Im just wondering why its there, i will try to get some pictures and post them soon

 

Is it the parking brake?

 

It should be the parking brake.

 

ok so that little button on top of the clutch not only locks the clutch but the brake too? or am i missing something?

 

It does not lock the clutch (at least it shouldn't). The button gets depressed and you pull the clutch lever in which pulls on the parking brake. When the clutch lever and parking brake are pulled in you push the button down again and that locks the brake on.

 

i'm looking into getting a raptor but i'm so confused about the clutch. does this mean that when you shift gears you are also braking? seems retarded. i wish i could just get an automatic clutch on a raptor like the bayou 250

 

I would just take that whole cable off if u can and just leave the clutch cable on
