Clutch cable
Can anyone tell me the difference between a 4wd and 2wd saff clutch cable?
I was about to order a new clutch ratchet as my clutch operation is a bit strange. Basically, it works but the ratched sits all the way to max position (furthest towards the drivers leg) but its a brand new cable from MSD. Im assuming with a new cable, it should be the other way, the ratchet should be further towards the bulkhead and move forward with cable stretch/wear?
If the cables are different lengths, im assuming theres a possibility I have received the wrong one?? Only noticed this happening since fitting new clutch cable.
Any thoughts

The 4wd one is longer and is routed differently to the 2wd.
If the ratchet has taken up all the cable, but the pedal/bite point is ok I wouldn't worry, no it shouldn't be like this, a way around it is to cut a small section out of a 8mm nut, then slip over cable inner so it is wedged between the rear of the fork and the cable nipple end, this will effectively lengthen the cable, to ease the adjustment lift the pedal and push the adjuster towards the bulkhead, few presses and it will re adjust.
