Hi folks
not been on here for a while. My F1 rebuild stalled for a while but back on it now with only some minor fettling to do.
One thing that I can't seem to figure out though is the clutch. My clutch is really heavy. I have replaced the cable and checked the routing of the cable and the mark on the casing lines up with the lever on the engine.
The clutch cable also seems too long as it is adjusted right out at the handlebars and is only just biting...any suggestions welcome.

Is it a genuine f1 57v cable
The non genuine ones can be the wrong length and don't have Teflon liners so are heavy
Also may have non standard clutch springs in it which are too heavy

Also the F1 has a different clutch perch to other ypvs so if you’re using an lc2 perch
the cable will have more slack,just a thought 🤔

Sorry, think 51L is the right one Think throttle cable is 57v Steve |
