Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

Just curious as to to correct way to route the clutch cable. I've seen several different ways. How did the factory do it? Which side of the steering tube did it go? Was it under the front tank bolt? Thanks DR

According to the Honda service manual, the clutch cable is routed through the gap between the front number plate and the top triple clamp, then along the downtube to a special clamp a few inches above the front motor mount hanger plates, then on top of the left crankcase to the clutch actuator arm.
