Damn stockgp you did the same thing I did, I also could not figure where that went. :motz2: How Ironic

which shift cable goes to which lever? i'm finding that the way i have the cables now, i can't shift through all gears.

if i try to switch the cables, the end on one of the cables is twisted at such an angle that it's next to impossible to get it onto the stud.

i know this might sound confusing, so just tell me which lever (x or o) should the thick shift cable be attached to

took me a little while to figure out too. I don't even know if I can see my cables under the downpipe but I'll go check.

much appreciated :icon_biggrin:

it appears the thick one attaches to the o in your pic.

the x looks like a smaller cable. the tip of that cable on mine has off-white plastic on it. the other cable looks like it's just metal. I forget how they're attached, but both have the threads of the bolt or stud facing up.

wow, i didn't expect it tonight. thanks :thumb:

oh, and both of my cables have plastic ends, not metal. and the ends have little inserts that hole the cable on the lever

If I remember right the one you have marked X if moved moves O up and down. If I am correct with that them X gets hooked to the cable that moves when you move the shifter left to right and O gets the cable that moves when you move the shifter front to back. I hope you understand that.
