quick turn throttle installed

[katguy]

I tried running Mikuni FS's with a single cable.... once... approached a intersection with a red and motor would not shut down.... the return spring is super strong... but the vacuum from a 1400 displacement is even stronger... it kept the slides from closing.

If you're interested in purchasing a set of R1 grips with throttle tube check your PM. I have 2 New sets that I'm willing to sell.

R6 tube looks the same - any good?

[groundshock]

Hate to bump a dead thread but my drum is going to pot and was wondering if anyone had any updates on this?

What exactly gets replaced and what stays? Pics anyone?

marginal improvment...GS1000

I did the R1 throttle tube mod for my 78 GS1000. I had to sand the face of the throttle tube down aproximatley 1/16 of an inch to get it to fit within the throttle tube housing. To do this... all I did was lay a piece of sand paper on a completley flat surface and rub the non-bar end side on the sand paper. Other than that it works fine and offers a marginal improvment. I wish there was a larger improvment but for how cheap this mod is; its worth every penny.

How much angular movement does it take now to get to wide open?

Just done exactly the same for my 79 S (alloy switch / tube housing) and it too needed 1/16 of an inch sanding off. It now fits fine and the improvement is noticeable. I tried it on an scruffy plastic tube housing off a 550 for comparison and it didn't need sanding.

This would be a great mod. Anyone have any pics?

U guys might have missed this

This is really the simplest thing to do and works well and you can do it for just about free.
You dont have to change the tube, screw with your handlebar grips and you can modify the thickness or even the (cam)profile if you so desire. Just add more PVC. U don't like it start over with a new piece of PVC.

Based onm radius, I got a 20% reduction in rotation for WOT.
