CABLE ROUTING AND LENGTH MODIFICATION

1. Mark the end of the cable where it needs to be cut to length.
2. Remove the (red) plastic sleeve from the cable before brazing. This will

prevent melting the plastic sleeve.

3. Braze the cable at the cutting point before cutting. This will prevent fraying

of the cable end.

4. Cut the cable to length at the brazed point in the cable.
5. Slip the (red) plastic tubing onto the cable and cut the tubing a 0.50" shorter

than the cable length.

6. Remove any jam nuts from the end(s) of the balance bar in the pedal assem-

bly before continuing.

7. Thread the jam nut included in the kit onto the hex broached end of the

balance bar shaft.

8. Thread the coupling onto the hex broached end of the balance bar shaft.

Typically, this is on the right side.

9. Insert the cable end into the coupling and secure the cable by tightening

the setscrew in the coupling.

10. Secure the coupling by tightening the jam nut on the balance bar against

the cable coupling.

11. Rotate the adjuster knob and look for cable movement or binding. Less

cable housing movement provides better balance bar adjustment.

12. Secure the cable along its route with the five (5) cable clamps that are

included in the kit.

13. Rotate the adjustment knob and observe the direction and effect it has on

the balance bar position. Rotating the balance bar so it shifts towards the
master cylinder for the rear calipers increases the amount of rear braking.

14. Apply the proper directional decal on the adjustment knob according to

previous observation.

MAINTENANCE

• Periodically inspect the balance bar assembly and the Remote

Cable Adjuster.

• Lubricant is not required for the cable assembly although a silicone-based

lubricant can be used if desired.

Note:

Lubrication is not recommended for the balance bar since

dirt and other foreign particles that can hinder operation tend to
stick to oil and grease.
