Hey all i'm after info on the correct way to run the decompressor cable, more specifically the brackets for it and where they go, which way the cable goes to clear the clutch arm. My manual only mentions the cables but I don't have any clear pictures to show or explains the route it takes. According to the manual the 87+ xr's have the kickstart decompressor setup. (That is it uses a cam on the kickstart shaft that connects to a lever on the outside. The cable connects at the head and pulls down the lever in the rockers. I've figured that out but only due to buying the setup with cable etc several months ago and the bike never had this cable when I got it
