I replaced my clutch lever and turn signals today. I replaced the factory TS with aftermarket arrow head style markers. The previous owner also added a 1" spacer to bring the handlebars up a bit, which I removed today. I have a few questions:
1) When I removed the spacer and put the handle bars back on, there is now a gap between the caps and the mount that wasn't there before I mucked with it. (See pictures)
I removed the bolts and retorqued them to 12 ftlbs a total of 3 times and the gap hasn't changed.
2) Before I took the clutch lever apart I measured the distance between the upper cable collar and the adjusting sleeve so I could put it back where it was pre-dog encounter... Now the clutch seems to grab (friction zone) way out from the handle bar. It used to grab a lot closer to the bar than it does now. Which way do I need to adjust the cable to get it right?
Note: I down loaded the service manual to my work computer and forgot to transfer it to my other computers.
