  3. Haha yes offcourse!
     
  4. Quick action throttle :upyeah:
     
  5. Is that the only solution?
     
  6. What exactly is the problem you are trying to solve?
     
  7. I have Some clearance between the starting position of the throtle handle and when you really hear that the engine respons. So i have to twist like 1/2 cm so i want to try to resolve that, i want to have a direct response On the throtle
     
  8. Standard or race map?
    I had a Domino quick action throttle on mine with Termi slip-ons and Evo map. I don’t recall there being any issues with the low-down throttle response.
     
  9. 5mm is a bit much free play you should have 1.5mm-2mm of free play, try adjusting your throttle cables to achieve this.
     
  10. Yes it sounds like your cable needs adjusting.
     
  11. Yes that is it:upyeah:, how can you adjust this?
    :bucktooth:
     
  12. Fit an R1 throttle

  13. if you are with a standard throttle and cable you would need to adjust the cable outers to take up the slack..

    can you post a piccie of your throttle body end of the cables? i think there will be a bit of adjustment on the two cables there, remember to adjust them both evenly.

  15. I hope that has come out ok and you can see it.
     
  16. As chrisw suggests, the R1 throttle mod is really popular amongst 999 owners but I don’t know if it works with a 1098 as well.
    The main idea is that it has a slightly faster throttle action but a big bonus is that it seems to eliminate play in the cables.
    This makes opening from a closed throttle enormously more predictable, making the bike much smoother and nicer to ride.
     
  17. Works on 1098

  19. Im with Chris. Did it to mine. No longer a twist and a half. £17 mod. Prob cheaper.
