Quick action throttle - 848

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by MrAliT, Jul 2, 2013.

  1. I've noticed that the throttle travel on the 848 is too large for my riding (closed to fully open/back again). I've got into the habit of starting with my wrist rotated forward so that I can get enough movement to open it far enough but have had a couple of occasions when I've been braking for a corner with the throttle still slightly open which isn't ideal. This is because my wrist doesn't rotate back enough when I'm using the front brake to close the throttle so I'm now looking at a quick action throttle.

    Any recommendations?

    Anyone got one in a box they didnt get on with/don't use?

  2. R1 and R6 throttle fits a 999 and reduces the twist. Not sure if its same for an 848

  3. R1 tube. Takes up some of the slacky slack also.

  6. The R6 (certain years) is even quicker, but I for one couldn't get it in the outer housing.
