Have got to change the clutch cable on my gen2 ,just wondered if anyone had done this job and can tell me if it's easy/hard anything awkward? appreciate the info.
I don't know if this suggestion would be suitable for a Gen2 Fazer, but made the job a piece of piss on my Gen 1.I got 2 lengths of thin cord. Tied one on the clutch end and one on the handlebar end. Pulled the clutch end through the frame and untied the cord. Then pulled the clutch end down through the frame and untied that length of cord. The old cable is now off the bike leaving 2 lengths of cord threaded through the cable run. Retie the cord to the clutch end and pull it through the frame, and repeat with the lever end, so the cable takes the exact route that the original did. If this is no help, sorry for the intrusion....I'll get my coat

On mine, I had to take the tank completely off for access because I had it brimmed with fuel and once I'd tipped it to where I wanted it, it was pissing out.Hardest bit was having to undo a mounting on the right side of the frame above the clutch. I can't remember what it was for, maybe a brake line? - but it had to come out of the way so I could adjust the end at the clutch arm side of the cable. I couldn't get anything on it except an open spanner and it moved about half a flat at a time!
