Quick throttle?

CYLax · 07-20-2007, 11:02 AM

Has anyone done a quick throttle mod on a 955i? I've been doing some reading on a few other Triumph boards and I've seen a couple ideas that look good (various 1/4 turn mods and a unique 3/8 mod)...but I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience.

I had read the same things and was going to do it to my old T 595, but never got around to it.
I never had much issue with the stock setup. Getting the slack right was key for me.

+1 to that one. It took me a while to get it right. It's PERFECT now, though. Before it was too tight and i'd accidently be giving it throttle if my glove bunched up at all when i was stopping.

Kind of annoying, but i've got it sorted now.

I've never really been a fan of the throttle response on the Daytona's (probably my only real complaint)...but it's been something I've just lived with. With some track days coming up, I was thinking if I could shorten the throttle movement I'd give myself a better hole shot...

Maybe I'll mess with the slack this weekend a little...haven't done that yet.

have you tweaked the map at all?
sometimes the crappy throttle response is down to CO settings.

Not personally...though I have a Tune Boy waiting to be used. The guy I bought the bike from (..and the tuneboy) did some work on it.

The throttle response is pretty good, I just don't like how far the throttle twists to go from 0 to pinned.

ah fair enough then.
I think there was a throttle mod posted somewhere....
let me see if I can dig it up

translated from German

but there's another one too.

Yep...those are the two I found from T595.net...hence the origination of my post

Both seem relatively simple and interesting too...

I'd say you've got a better than average chance they will work well. But I never got around to it myself... so go for it!

and post your findings

$30??? For a single cable system you can make the exact same thing for the price of a 3/4" PVC coupling - about 30 cents. Did mine and now I have a 90 deg throttle.
