Measuring the distance (X) between the protrusion on the downshift cable and the threaded end of the cable sheath
1 – forced downshift cable
Measuring the clearance (b) between the protrusion on the downshift cable and the threaded end of the cable housing and clearance adjusting nut
1 – clearance adjustment nut
Adjustment of the downshift cable must be made on a warm engine.
Adjustment
1. Check and, if necessary, adjust idle speed.

2. Turn off the engine and check the accelerator cable adjustment. Disconnect the forced downshift cable from the lever on the carburetor or throttle body and check the accelerator cable adjustment again.
3. Pull the downshift cable out of the housing and measure the distance between the protrusion on the cable and the threaded end of the cable housing, which should be 39.0 mm. If the measured value is not 39.0 mm, unscrew the two locknuts securing the cable housing and move the nuts along the cable housing to set the required distance (see figure Measuring the distance (X) between the protrusion on the downshift cable and the threaded end of the cable housing).
4. Reconnect the downshift cable to the carburetor or the lever on the throttle body and check the clearance between the projection on the cable and the threaded end of the cable sheath, which should be 0.5 mm. If the measured value is not 0.5 mm, unscrew the two locknuts securing the cable sheath and move the nuts along the cable sheath to set the required distance (see figure Measuring the clearance (b) between the projection on the downshift cable and the threaded end of the cable sheath and the clearance adjusting nuts).
