anybody know where i can get my hands on a 1/4 turn or simaler throttle I asked at my local dealers and got a blank responce.

Ohh yeh to suit a 04 6R

No wonder they gave you a blank look,you've already got a 1/4 turn throttle,you want a 1/5 one or even 1/6 action

or

http://www.performancemotorcycleparts.com/, they have them in the Track and Tuning section, but i did'nt see Kwaks listed so you may have to e-mail them,and give them some abuse.

or Kawasaki Racing Division,they apparentley do them as part of the race kit.

Thats a help but it requires some modding of the cables, I rang my local kwaka dealer but didnt pay a visit sometimes the mechanics are way more knowledgeable on these things.

I don't get on that well with my throttle either

I hate the way you can open it up 90% by twisting the wrist without moving the angle of your forearm but for that last 10% you're forced to do a passable impression of an orangutan.

It's losing me precious milliseconds on my daily run up the mountain (not to mention the RSI)...not happy

Why are they made like this, WHY

well i just thought as i use full throttle on the track all the time whats easier must be better and if you dont want full throttle dont twist it as much.

!/4 or 1/5th turn throttle would have to be way more user friendly its just not that easy to procure.

The one on my 9 was a Domino... I luved it... and so does the new owner I believe..
did a search and couldn't find much but I'd try places like Mick Hone or Phil Tainton as it came from a shop in Melbournee..

I just replyed on kawiforums too, i say most quickk action throttles will need some modifications.

I thought i would ask around first for a simple soloution but it looks like i have to modify cables and stuff. I prefere a bolt on bolt off soloution then when you are done you can take it off and have a stock item for sale.

Might stick me head into the dealers and ask the mechanics in there what they know.

mate..its so much easier to go for the "orangatang" option..just get another thumb sewn on ur wrist or sumthin??
would help ur "love" life too id reckon...

Nah neka I thought you might know sumthin about it actually its also easier to pop wheelies if ya dont have to have you elbow pointing at the ground....just use a little wrist action the whole forearm doesnt have to get involved.

hmmm... do yas reckon i need one of them on me 12?
that throttle is way too responsive, i might need to lighten it a bit more!

duno maybe ask fab he has one but it came with the bike (12r) sounds like he also got one with the 9r.

dont u worry mate, my forearms are plenty strong

seriously..its a bit diff on a 600 to a 900...

The one on the 9 used a the std throttle cable and was a simple bolt on affair..

the one on madkaws old bike works ....................shit does it work !
