Dude, just mark with a bit of tip-ex on your existing grip/housing 18 deg (3 mins of a clockface) further forward and then sit on the bike and twist the grip to that not full throttle. That is how much 'wrist saving' you will get. If you find that a little more comfortable (which you will) then go for it!!

I refer you to part of my initial comment on the matter:-

FACT: The stock tube requires 90 degrees rotation from zero to full throttle and the R6 tube requires 72 degrees. So you are gaining (loosing?!?!) 18 deg of twist.

If you were to put that in minutes on a clockface terms 18deg is equivalent to the angel represented by 3 mins!!! Yep that is it, 3 minuets (of a clockface) less twist, put your hand by your watch and simulate it …

Hey now, careful with context!

I didn't 'admit' you were right, I just agreed with you. The other points raised (both by me & someone else) in that thread are still valid.

come on baph, dose it hurt that much to admit the "site idiot" was right

& heed, i have not riden my bike for 2 weeks & as its raining at the mo not sure if i will be able to compare it to b4......but i will try,just for you

& blue..............................i was only joking

You're too kind mate!

throttle done

a bit tricky as there was no ajustment so i had to force the nipple in cos i could not be @rsed to take air box off to do it off the carbs (dose this make sense? )

dinnertime now

hot grips after dinner

2 hours + to do the throttle due to seized on bar ends

[squirrel_hunter]

Is the return on the throttle ok?

When I did mine it took alot of adjustment to get this right, and I had to take the air box out to get to the carb side adjusters.

it seems ok although i have not started it yet?

woooooooooo-hooooooooooo

just finished throttle & hot grips

IMO it is worth doing

bike seems to have more power & now i can get it up even easier (without the clutch)

as most have said b4.............DO IT

Took me about 3-4 hours to do it all

Thank you. And yes, hovi5 is right.
