Why the weak wrist :P

I'm left handed.

But to throw my thoughts into the mix...

Its worth doing. I found a quicker action at hard acceleration from a slow speed (been side ways before I got used to it). But over all its a comfort mod, I now no longer have to move my hand to get full throttle which makes getting to full faster for me and more comfortable.

But as jonboy said - each to his own. It costs less then £10 so worth a try.

It's the comfort that's been good for me - no more walking my hand round the throttle to use the full range and less movement needed = more relaxed ride and can focus on the road that bit more.

Still no sign of a proper wheelie, but I've not done the sprockets yet...

I've read the threads and have one question.
How does it work!

Does the actual throttle part (where the cables reside) on the tube have bigger circumference, therefore as you twist, you get the cable moving quicker..??

It's something I may do, as it's a cheap comfort/mod thing!!

Yes. All this does is enable you to get to full throttle easier, none of the other garbage. Just means less twist of the wrist to full throttle end of.

I don’t think it is a case of that, I just feel this sort of comment

“Result: Perfectomundo! After the rear sprocket mod, this has to be second. The bike is so much more responsive and the power comes on so much quicker that you'd swear you had another 10 BHP.”

Might lead people to believe that it is going to do more for them than it actually will.

From that statement, my expectations would be high, when in reality and after doing this mod myself remember, the performance difference is zero (not that I expected it too, again see above) and the comfort difference is small, but not irrelevant. So when all is said and done, it does make it that little bit less to twist, which is a bonus and therefore worth the £7 they cost.

I am actually going to modify my original tube to try and increase the diameter significantly and see how I get on as I feel even with the R6 tube, there is still a fair twist there!!

If anyone is interested, the left hand grip is part number 4YR-26241-02-00

So what, I'm selling it and misrepresenting something? Get a grip. It's my opinion and that of others as you can well read. If you have a lack of sensibilities and are unable to tell what I consider to be a major difference (yes major) then sorry, but that really isn't my problem. I was happy to let it rest with my comment above, but you don't seem to want to — odd.

We ran this on our race SV650's last season as it helped ease the pain of having to wind the throttle onto the stop by a double twist - if you understand what i mean!.

I have now got a proper quick action throttle which is adjustable.

The mod doesnt make the bike quicker or add any BHP. It just makes it easier to wind the throttle open..thats all.

Although do be careful as we have seen far too many road bikes with this mod that have been not adjusted properly and only open the throttle 3/4's full and dont allow it to be opened fully

Ohhhh easy there, have I upset you by voicing my (and others it seems) experience/opinions on this mod; just because they don't align with yours??

There is no problem you posting what you think, is there a problem with me posting what I think??

Or are the facts I have highlighted simply getting in the way of a good story here?!?!

No, I don't mind people posting anything they like, however it's the way they post that counts, and if anyone was trying to manipulate the facts it really wasn't me.

Obviously . However it does mean that the throttle can be opened quicker and therefore the power comes in quicker, and in this case 25% quicker, which makes the bike more responsive and have the appearance of being a little more powerful, hence my original comment of it seeming to have an extra 10 bhp in the first three gears (in MY opinion).

For seven odd quid, it's a great mod, which others have also agreed with. Now if anyone feels this ain't so, then fair dues, we're all entitled to our own opinion .
