The cable routing guides for new bikes was only to set up the handle bars.
From memory the throttle runs down the RHSof the frame and used to run through a guide mounted off the coil through bolt.
I think the clutch goes around the steering head and also goes down the RHS
If you disconnect the neg while it is running, you risk damaging the regulator, check the battery voltage with a meter.
Just over 12v engine stopped

To remove the old cable first shorten the mid-cable adjuster to give as much free play as possible. If you need more free play screw in the adjuster at the clutch lever as much as possible and line up the slots so you can disconnect the cable from the clutch lever. Then remove the shift lever, and possibly the left footrest if needed to remove the front sprocket cover. Remove the cotter pin and disconnect the cable from the clutch release lever. Make a note of the routing of the old cable so you can replace it. Install the new cable with a new cotter pin at the lower end first, and route it the same as the old cable. To adjust the new cable, shorten the mid-cable adjuster as much as possible. At the clutch lever, turn the adjuster in and leave about 1/4" of threads showing between the locknut and the lever body. With the front sprocket cover still off, loosen the locknut on the clutch release lever and back the screw 3 or 4 turns. Turn the clutch adjusting screw in until it becomes hard to turn and then back it off 1/2 of a turn and tighten the locknut. Now lenghten the mid-cable adjuster until there is no free play and tighten the locknuts. Check that the lower end of the cable is fully seated in it's socket. At the clutch lever, turn the adjuster in so you have 1/16" free play, and tighten the locknut. Replace the front sproket cover and the shift lever and footrest.
if you're getting intermittent operation, then you have a loose wire. first, check that all your connectors are properly seated. then check the wires going into the connectors by moving them while the light is on. if the problem hasn't surfaced yet, then your going to have to check continuity of your light wires from the battery to the bulb. this is more easily done if you buy a Clymers Manual for your Kaw. Good luck.
