jetspeedz Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 this is a really nice and cheap mod i did this using 2 zip ties some puddy, small screws from HD and a unibit. the thickness of the zip ties and number of zip ties you use will determine the lobe diameter.here is a pic for those interested.

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 ive got a 1/4 turn and love it. for both the street and when i took it to the track. annoying haing to reposition ur hand when the time comes. on the trumpie i can use either a r1 tube or the triumph spirnt (i think thats the right model) i went with the triumph model one just to make sure there wouldnt be possible sticking issues...

Again, for like $10-$12 at a Yamaha dealer, you can turn your GSXR 1/4 throttle tube into an 1/8 or 3/16 and not have zip tyes and screws and putty in your throttle housing...Might be cool for the street kids, but any of you track day guys (where this mod even makes sense) doing the home made version, send me your throttle tube and I will make you one. Send me $12 and I'll toss your stock one over my shoulder and buy one from the Yamaha dealer... I'll include a free grip as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 sorry man but that just screams cable wear to me. at the end of the plastic thcable is making a hard angle across a hard surface and if it would wear into the plastic it would eventually get in touching the screw head. maybe not tho??

jetspeedz Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Actually the cable does not make contact there and the picture is not the last one i took that day which shows the end of the top zip tie tapered off so there is no contact at all between the cable and the end... Like i said if you want to use the r1/r6 knock yourself out. I have done this bike to all my bikes and 40,000 miles on my last bike no issuescheer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of racers use these tubes and they work fine. Trust me...But, what do I know, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track day guys like Adam aren't going to want to do this mod at all. Stick with a throttle tube kit that you can buy...As far as what I was saying, again - it is for GSXRs. Not sure what the other guys do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the other guys do...Again it does not make contact, until you do this mod as i have done and racked up the miles I have then its a matter of your opinion and nothing to back it up. I have proved 40k miles and not a single problem.If you want to use a r1/r6 go right ahead and knock yourself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me guess - the vast knowledge base found on gixxer.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetspeedz Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well like i said im not a Yami guy so you are probably correct here the 1/5 & 1/6 is pretty much most forums from r1-forum r6-forum gixxer.com hayabusa.org 1000rr.net and a few others. i suspect its easer to say 1/5 then 3/16 but you seem pretty knowledgeable about the Yami so well call it 1/8th and 3/16th for arguments sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I wondering if I can do something similiar with my NSR, i wasnt a fan of the stock 1/4 last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Of all the research I have done, it seems like for a Honda, if you dont want to spend big bucks on an HRC or other aftermarket racing kit, the only thing to do is modify the stock throttle tube, either with zip ties or pvc pipe. I wish the Hondas could be a direct swap like the Yamaha/Suzuki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
