quick action throttle

[pav69]

hey guys is there a throttle tube i can put on my 95 zxr750 to make the action quicker another model of bike etc or is a new one my only option

[Fight_fan]

does ur throttle tube slot into a round piece that holds the throttle cables? If so a different sized 'holder thingamijig' will alter the throttle action ie faster/slower. When i bought my billet grips it came with 3 different ones, one of which would have given me a quick action throttle.

[BANDITROD]

there was a how to on this round here a while ago but all you have to do is shorten the travel of your cable so if you make the tube bigger by maybe glueing a cable tie or something like that to it ....should work ok prob something better than a cable tie but you get the idea

[wackyrider]

Increasing the circumferance of the path of the cable will result in pulling the same amount of cable with less twist.

thats basically what i was getting at frenchy

Most Gsxr have 33.3mm dia "pulley"
R1 has 37mm pulley. I just put a r1 tube in my Gsxr and it helped but went from 1/4 turn to bout 1/5 turn. I still want faster

thanks guys now to start playing

I've got a Domino 1/8 turn single cable job on my Gixer & it's too fast, the throttle's either on or off.
I spose I don't help the situation by having the dexterity of a Gorilla, if you had Trials Rider level throttle control it might be smoother but I'm gunna change it to a more forgiving 1/4 turn chap coz it's easier than learning to ride proply.

[pav69]

is that the brand tk(domino)are they only single cable or could i buy one for my zxr which as you would know is push pull twin cable ,im a bit the same with throttle control or lack of so 1/4 turn would be cool

[BANDITROD]

yeah domino is the brand pav

[Deano]

Mark the throttle and see what you have now. 1/4 is pretty slow. 1/8 is about what I want

[pav69]

looks like a 1/4 turn is what i have so ill start looking for a 1/8 and give it a go thanks guys

At the end of the day, on CV carbs the slides will only rise as quickly as the springs (as well as other factors) will let them, my Gix is really snappy & feels like it has slide carbs (it doesn't) maybe it has lightweight diaphragms/springs/slides? My Racebike has a 1/8 turn throttle too (yes they are available in twin cable) but throttle response is nowhere near as quick - might be down to the difference between Mikunis & Keihins, 750s & 1100s... or something more sinister??
I reckon you'd hafta have the throttle control of The Lord himself to use a 1/8 with FCRs or RSs (flatslide pumpers).

I used the R6 throttle tube on my GSXR 600 it gives a 1/6 turn.

2006 R6.
Part: 2CO-26240-00. This number is what was on the yamaha part label on the bag the tube came in.

Colour: White.
Diameter of cable pulley: 40.5mm.
Turn: 1/6.

As TK has already indicated

I reckon 1/8 is going to be too twitchy Pav.

[pav69]

is there another throttle tube from say an r6 that will be compatable with my housing so i dont have to mod the housing just in case i have to switch back for some reason ,has anyone got one sitting around that is a shorter throw that they dont want as i would like to sort it out before we hit the drag strip on the 22nd of jan

[Tony Nitrous]

Most Suzuki's are 1/4 turn.

R1 is 1/5th turn.

R6 is 1/6th turn.

If you can't find a quicker action or short-throw throttle to suit your bike, get yer hand further up on top of the grip and have yer elbow up high. When you crack it wide open, drop yer whole arm, elbow and all.

Most people are only fooling themselves when they think they need a quicker action or short-throw throttle on a no-bar bike on the dragstrip.

If you're serious, you'll be at wide open throttle just off the startline and won't roll off until you're through the traps.

Practice sliding the clutch lever out. That'll lower most people's ETs more than a 1/5 or 1/6 turn throttle.

dont forget your specific tool kit

i have been going through my old hard drive and transfering pics to my laptop and i have been wanting to use this pic all day lol

[stiffsimon]

Hey Rod, you've been taking pics of my toolkit. Just that you missed out the hacksaw and cold chisel :D

[Redmohawk]

The other option if your so inclined would be to reduce the diam of your carbs cable cam. The bonus is you can make it eccentric (oval instead of round with an off centre axis) so you can have good throttle control at small openings while still being able to snap open the last half of throttle quickly.

You can then have a 1/4 throttle responce off idle to say cruising speed (on road) and above can be quickened to 1/8 or quicker for drags. The cam action will be felt at the handpiece as a stiffening (harder to twist slightly) .

[mr.zxr]

yes there is a replacement tube. i think it might be an r1 or zx10. i'll have to do a bit of digging around to see which one though.

[pav69]

that would be great josh a model of a bike will make the job real easy cheers mate

[fimpBIKES]

thats a great idea in in mohawk, In used a few domino ones and like them

[nick76]

You could try and get a G2 Tamer throttle tube,with changeable throttle cams??

Just bout all the push pull setups are interchangeable
