HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) I`m running a DXR setup with a linear slic cable.Whenever I pull the lever ,only the right side arm pulls to the rim.The leftside (noodle side) does nothing.Everything is lubed properly,but I still can`t get it working .... :-[

Bigfrawg:

have you tried adjusting the springs ?

Bend the springs out a bit to get a bit more 'spring' and then adjust the screws to move the non moving side away from the rim.

Gary72:
Sounds like spring tension, Is one side wound all the way in. I normally feel both sides by pushing them towards the rim to make sure the tension feels equal, Do this without the cable connected..
Hope that makes sense

HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) Cheers,I`ll try the spring bending thing.I`d tried the adjuster screws without any success.Don`t rate the DXR very highly TBH,looks like a Deore with a new name & bigger price..
