The YT 125/175 did not have a clutch cable shortline, they were an "auto" clutch like the utility Hondas. Make sure you have the adjuster screw set correctly. Loosen the lock nut and turn adjuster counterclockwise until slight resistance is felt. Then turn the adjuster 1/8 turn clockwise and tighten the locknut while holding the adjuster to keep it from turning. You can get at the adjuster by removing the smaller right cover, the one directly over the clutch, with the oil cap on the side of it. And I believe the adjuster takes a standard screwdriver if I remember correctly. Hope this helps. ----- Jon.
