thottle cables

Andy1976:
I've bought new cables for my F1 but when I turn the front wheel left or right they stick open. It's fine when the wheel is facing forward.
Any help appreciated as always

Seamus:
Sounds like a routing problem. Are the cables being caught by the tank preventing them from moving. I guess they are the same length as the ones that you replaced.

Raise the tank and see if that sorts the problem.

Good luck

Seamus

Andy1976:
Hi Seamus. I've not put the tank on yet, so maybe i've routed them incorrectly. From the twist grip, they pass behind the headlamp bracket,then underneath the fame tube that the tank sits on, then linked up to the carbs.
Checked them agaist the old cables, they're the same length.
Thanks
Andy

Seamus:
Is there a shorter route? Not sure if the manual shows the cable routing, some do. Do you have a proper (not Haynes) manual?

Andy1976:
Hi Seamus,
I've only got the Haynes manual, I find it a bit short on detail in some areas.
I'm going to try and re-route the cables to see if it improves any.
I've put a drop of oil down them and cleaned out the twist grip as it was gunked up.
