I was tightening the lock nut on my clutch cable and slipped. I broke that bottom plug type thing next to it? What does that do? Will this be a problem?

 

Was it the part that hooks an oil line to the side cover, just above the oil filter?

 

I dont adjust the slack from there. I do it from the handle bars.

 

So where exactly is the thing you messed up? I was misunderstood.

 

Is it part of the parking brake assembly? I am kinda lost on where it is too.

 

Ok if you look at your clutch and parking break you see there is a cable going to each of them. Now look next to both the cables and you will see two black plugs or something. I broke the one next to the clutch cable.

 

That is your clutch switch that stops your bike from starting in gear with the clutch engaged. I think it will start any time with the clutch in or out now that that is broke.

 

With wire running in them. This is either your parking brake switch or the switch that makes it where you can not start in gear. But I don't know which is which.

See if your P-brake works, if it does you can try starting in gear without the ckutch pulled in. But DON"T be in front of it if you do try.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

So its not a really big deal then?

 

I guess it depends on how you look at it. You surely don't want to accidenlty start it in gear, but the parking brake can be a pain anyway. I would figure out which one it is and go from there. If you don't want ot to start in gear you might want to fix it. Its really up to you, but those should be the only two things in affects.



Just thinking....if you go to start it and it won't you'll need to tie those two wires together. I did this so long ago I can't remember which one it was.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
