New to the forum. Got a 99 9R late last year. Did a search but didn't see anything.
A lil history on problem:
Cable started to stretch, got hard to get into gear & neutral. Adjusted at lever, things seemed okay for a while then problem returned. Then I adjusted at the clutch case. Worked fine for a while then the problem persisted so new cable was ordered (#54011) Installed new cable (old one had frayed) but had to adjust the new one to max at both lever & case ends to get it to dissengage. Now it won't change gears and there's no more adjustment left. Seems like the cable is too long, when fully depressed, I can manually move it another 1" which tells it's not fully dissengaging. Company assures me this is the right cable. Also the return spring for the release lever is broken so I ordered one from my local shop (inturn they order it from Kawasaki, 1 week wait). Now this spring beside returning the clutch release shaft also prevents it from coming out of the case, correct ?

Why does this cable seem too long?

My 1st thought was that the clutch release shaft had turned some how cause I was assured the cable was correct. Kawasaki website confirmed.
I'm at a point that I'm about to fabricate an extention at the case to get it to work. Any ideas?

Thanx!
