When my F1 super sport came to me it was a real basket case, the engine was loosely in the frame and the rest of it was in bits.
I have a query regarding the throttle linkage, I haven't yet got the throttle set up in position so am only manipulating the throttle by hand but feel that the twist grip would struggle to open the throttle as the spring is so strong. I have accumulated a couple of spare sets of carbs to refurb and now have 2 different throttle linkages, on both the lower end of the reurn spring mounts the same but the upper end on one is to a grooved pin and the other is to an arm on the linkage much nearer to the lower attatchment point and hence resulting in a much lighter throttle action, so which one is correct for my bike, I imagine that the grooved pin type would need a longer spring but so far all I can find is the one spring which is too short to work with that linkage.
Part number for my bike spring is 16036-392-004 but I have been unable to discover the length of this spring, 71 to 76 K's seem to use the same spring so a bit puzzled!
