    Can someone check on their own blade how the cluch cable is suppose to be?

    After i fitted a new engine, the clutch cable has been kinda wonky. It sticks up very much and when i have the handlebars all over too the right, i have no play in the clutch lever.

    Straight forward i have 5mm slack, and all the way to the left i have 5mm slack. All the way to the right i have NO slack.

    Take a look at some pictures i took.

    This first picture is how the clutch cable sits when handlebars are straight.

    Pictures above is how the cable is routed with handlebars straight.

    On full right the cable is kinda getting squished by my right fork.

    Here is the slack i got when handlebars are straight and to the left.

    Any thoughts?

    Yours also shows a bend at the top and I wonder it is a non standard one and too long.
    Here are two pics from my RR8 the cable is well out of line of sight. Hope it helps
