And apparently its waaay easier on 954s (and i assume 929s) than on the 1000rr. pulled everything apart, loosened the cables at the throttle body, and slapped it right in. no clearance problems at all. hairsprays gotta dry but im hoping to take it for a spin tomorrow. goes to wot super easy with no regrip though ;)

for those that don't know, for some boneheaded reason yamaha's r1 and r6 have larger throttle cams than the standard size the other three use. when placed in one of the standard sized bikes they become 1/5th and 1/6th turn respectfully.

Wouldn't that make throttle precision a bit choppy? :idk:

Is this making the throttle easier or changing the amount of opening to W.O.T?

I need to get a 1/4 throttle on my ZX6r.

People swear by the R6 throttle on the newer gsxrs.

You can also do it with a piece of PVC tubing... it's on my list for the Tiller.

A bit more I'm sure but I'll learn to adjust. Besides, its jersey we don't have any corners here :lol:

True, I wanted the simplicity of an oem part here though

And I want the cheapness and frustration of a DIY part.

I did the PVC throttle mod on my old ninja, awesome mod, works great, was easy as sin to do, and dirt cheap. The hardest part was sitting there with a file to get it to fit perfectly, it took me a few tries but eventually I did get it right.

Under 25 you don't pull the throttle, you merely think about it
