Hi all,

thought i would start my first post with a question. i have recently bought an NC30 and the clutch action seems really stiff compared others i have tried. It has a new cable although i am not 100% sure this has been routed correctly - i will check it. However i see reading through the forum there are a fair few NC30 riders/experts on here so has anyone else got any suggestions?

also, just another minor niggle, the left indicator flashes a lot faster that the right???

thanks in advance

As regards the indicators - if all four are flashing check the bulb wattages. If one side has higher wattage bulbs than the other they will flash faster.

Stiff clutch is nearly always the cable. If as you say it is new then check the lever and actuating arm are not gummed up and sticky.

If the cable has recently been replaced I would say it has been routed incorrectly like you say. Give the pivot points some grease too Thumbs Up .
