my cable at the moment is very tight so i bought a new clutch cable but dont know how to put it on ... do i have 2 drain any clutch oil or anything? what do i do. thanks.How do i change the clutch cable on my 2003 rm125?
draining oil is not a requirement when changing out a clutch cable.
before installing the new cable you will of course have to take the old one off.to do this you will want to start at the engine where the clutch arm is where the cable hooks to,the end of the cable that is attached to the clutch arm should look like a Miniature barrel..there should also be a slot in the clutch arm where the cable slides through.you will have to probably move the clutch arm towards you so that you can persuade the cable through the slot.you will want to unloosen any nuts that's holding the cable in place before you go any further.now that you have one end of the cable taken care of you'll want to move up towards the left of the handle bars where your clutch perch is where the threads in to.screw the bolt at the end of the cable out from the perch,once this is done you'll be able to line up the cable with the slot grooves in the perch and lever.now,you'll notice if you look underneath the clutch lever that the end of the clutch cable again looks like a miniature barrel,after lining up the cable with the slots you'll be able to pull the cable through.now that you have the old cable out you can replace the new one by doing this procedure in reverse order as explained.
good luck

before you take off the old one u will want 2 squese the clucth in and put vice grips on the lever by the engine. if not it will be hard to hook up the new one.
then 2 take off the old one just unscrew i at the lever at the handle bars. then at the engine.
to put the new one on just hook it up the same way u took off the old one.How do i change the clutch cable on my 2003 rm125?
Before you take it off take digital pictures or, better, feed the new one to sit side by side with the old one so that you get the routing correct, a poorly installed/routed cable will not work correctly and may be damaged.
