ing the cable, be sure the up-
per end of the clutch outer cable
is fully seated in its fitting, or it
could slip into place later, creat-
ing enough cable play to prevent
clutch disengagement.

using a cleaner for sealed chains fol-
lowing the instructions supplied by the
chain cleaner manufacturer.
