FINALLY!

Ordered the clutch cable a week ago tomorrow and I suppose I wasn't really thinking when I expected it to be here before last weekend but Saturday came and went with no clutch cable and a beautiful day of riding missed.  Coming home from work today, I saw the package on the porch and knew I was in luck.  Quick dinner and then out to the garage to get the bike running for the nice days we are going to have this week before a weekend full of rain.  As you fairinged guys know, 80% of the battle with a job like this is removing the plastics and although mine is nowhere near as bad as a full-fairinged bike, to clean up the sides of the motor, they pile everything on top and it was quite a chore snaking the clutch cable through the spaghetti.  Cable in, adjusted and a quick ride showed that my cable pull had been degrading much longer than I noticed.  With the shorter bars, it had put the initial metal elbow off the lever perch in a bind as it snaked through the cable loom bolted to the top triple so upon re-installation, I routed it outside the loom with no binding.  Clutch pull is much, much smoother and no clank on getting it into first gear!  Really wish I would have thought to buy an air filter as mine really needed changing but I wanted to ride tomorrow so I bolted her back up.  Now for some tires and the Fizzy is ready to roll.  As for the ZRX, well that's a different story entirely...
