8 years ago I rebuilt my SR500. I have recently decided to start using the bike again and appear to have forgotten how I put it together. I want to lubricate the tacho cable. Obviously it's a screw fit and pull to back of instrument. The service manual is not clear on how the engine end is released. Could some one tell me how I release the cable to service it? I am assuming it's something to do with the spring steel clip facing me as I look toward the engine in line with the cable.

Hi Mike, yes it's an omega clip in a groove. They can be slippery customers. Squeeze the visible ends together with narrow pliers and wrest it free. The groove is likely gunked up if it's not been apart for a while. Leave the last 6 inches closest to the meter ungreased. You don't want grease migrating into the clock! But you knew that. Maybe just graphite that last 6 inches.

Thanks Stevep It was either the clip or Allen bolt. Preferred someone to confirm than have bits rattling around inside. Regards Mike
