How to Detach a Yamaha Blaster Clutch Cable

The 2000 Blaster is a high-performance, all-terrain vehicle produced by Yamaha. This model of ATV features a 195cc two-cycle engine with a manual six-speed transmission. Unlike typical ATVs, this model comes in only two-wheel drive and does not have an electric starter because this vehicle is designed to be very fast and lightweight for racing. Over time and with extensive use, the clutch cable can stretch, which prevents the clutch from disengaging all the way. If this problem is not corrected, it can cause major damage to the clutch plates or engine.

      Remove the cable from the clutch lever. Start by twisting the large ring located on the clutch lever counterclockwise by hand until it is as far as it can go. Then twist the inner adjustment ring until it is as loose as it can get. Line up the two channels on each ring and lift out the cable.

      Follow the cable down to the engine. About three-quarters of the way down, you will see a mounting bracket that holds the cable in place. Remove it using the crescent wrench and store it in a safe location.

      Remove the cable from the push lever assembly. To do this, push the now-free cable toward the rear of the ATV to release the tension off the push lever. At the same time, push the small aluminum bracket toward the engine to release it from the cable. The clutch cable should now be completely free from the vehicle.
