Throttle return problems
I just replaced the throttle cables on my buddies f3. With the whole assembly off the bar it'll snap back no problem perfectly. But on the bar it really takes a noticable amount of force to open or close it. I can see it's bent but so is the other side so I assume it's supposed to be like that. The bike was backed into and fell on it's throttle side. Is there a chance it got bent out of shape and that's what's causing it to not open/close properly?

Assuming the cables are adjust correctly, make sure the bar and the tube are clear or nasty old grease. When you're done cleaning, use some white grease.
Just a note from personal experience. I've used the Bel-Ray water proof grease on the bar and it was too heavy. When I released the throttle, it would slowly return. Once I cleaned it and used white grease, the throttle would snap.

The only way they aren't correct would be if maybe they're twisted. I listerally had all 4 cables (new and old) in the same spot at once to make sure of that. I'm gonna have to try to clean it then, I don't want to tell my buddy to order new parts if he doesn't have to. I just don't think it's dirty because it would have done that before.
