How to: DIY fast throttle modification

[@stevenfebvre5151]

Good stuff bro! Nice and well explain. Thanks from the Uk

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for viewing!

[@davidmartineau4037]

If you look at your tape markings, you'll notice that even though the full throttle position is at the same tape marking, the tape marking for the neutral position is very different making the total throw distance much shorter. I'm going to give this a try. Not because I want a stupidly short throttle throw, but because my bike currently requires more than a quarter turn and my wrist cannot move it through the full range necessary. Thanks for the video.

[@thesighbored]

Hope it works for you, be careful with this mod, make sure the strip is glued on securely.

[@dirgharajshrestha]

I've done it on 150cc dual sport. But not the zip ties, used a plumbing pipe, for bigger difference. Works even better.

[@thesighbored]

Yup the concept is the same just widen the diameter for shorter cable travel to open/close.

[@dirgharajshrestha]

@@thesighboredYeah exactly! I used the cable ties for previous bike. This time I wanted a bit more aggressive. It's equivalent to 4 cable ties. 🤘👊🇳🇵

[@thesighbored]

Cool

[@kelvinlee6226]

Nice. I think what you did basically increase the diameter and remove all the slack (free play) in the cable, so increase the respond. Might not be too obvious on your ZX but I'm riding a 17 year old 400cc bike and I think it'll give mine a big change. Thanks for the idea.

[@thesighbored]

No it was magic wizardry hocus-pocus.. LoL. Just kidding.. Yeah the basic idea is to increase the diameter so that less movement gives more cable travel. Just make sure the clearance is good and the add-on cures well so that no snagging occurs.

[@eldiablo4143]

I agree with dinxsy, there's no point having a fancy ZX6R that you cannot ride anymore because you were not wearing the proper gear. Get Suited and Booted your body will thank you for it ,no matter how hot it is, better sweating ,than skin worn to the bone ride safe

[@cbh148]

yeah totally bro, safety is for pussies. i even remove the safeties from all my guns cause i'm not lettin' any foofoo lame-o safety patrol bullshit stop me from poppin' rad caps to tha max #yoloDoofHoof

[@No10Racing]

Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing!

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for viewing!

[@rizkialfian7080]

Very useful. Thx for sharing.... I'll do this to my bore up yzf r15 v2

[@thesighbored]

If your throttle is dual cable like in the video then you can try this otherwise it is not possible with single cable type.

[@rizkialfian7080]

TheSighBored yes, it have 2 cables.. 😀

[@antabotwippy]

going to try this bro

[@thesighbored]

Good luck and watch closely on the clearance. I will show another video of Z800 where having clearance issue and require finer adjustments.

[@ljgarrison6910]

Heat the tie, so it forms to shape, much safer. Neat idea but i'll stick with a full set up

[@thesighbored]

Good tip, thanks.. So far all is good till today.. A full on aftermarket FT will require to change the throttle cable as well.. Some kits include the cable, some don't.

[@paulthompson1675]

thank you so much for this video!!!i will be doing this to my triumph,for free!!

[@thesighbored]

You're welcome, please take all necessary precautions when performing this DIY mod.

[@SaijThaNYardie9]

thanks for the video man..did you have to adjust youe idle screw (in order to compensate for the slightly extra power) or was it idling [over all] the same?

[@thesighbored]

Overall I did not have to adjust the idle.. This mod just makes the twist shorter, yes the cable gets a little tight but I didn't have to mess with the idle..

[@Tenhing_Eth]

hi there this is out of topic question.. the mirror which you install is to use as normal use ?? how the visibility? does it give 80% of rear visibilty?compare to handle bar mirror

[@thesighbored]

What mirror? Those round ones? They give no rear visibility, just decorative. I use it to check if I'm too close to the bike beside me when I'm reverse parking the bike in the bike park. LoL.

[@Tenhing_Eth]

+TheSighBored haha! Lol okay okay , I thought you use it for Replace side mirror , Okay noted

[@LK-kn4oi]

Hi, Sorry for off topic, Where can I purchase the Ohlins Steering Damper... New or Used...?

[@thesighbored]

I'm not sure, maybe try Mudah.my or Malaysian Superbike Exchange group @ Facebook. Maybe some of the established online sellers, like OK SBK, Rika, etc.

[@MofoMoto941]

Awesome vid bud! Did you end up having issues with the throttle letting off to go into the neutral position?

[@thesighbored]

Thanks! No issues with the throttle till this date since I did the mod.

[@giovannicarosa8819]

I always wear my helmet when I'm working on my bike. Lmao...

[@thesighbored]

Safety first. :P

[@aldrineuri122]

Nice I didn't think of this even tho I know how a quick throttle works

[@thesighbored]

It wasn't my idea too, I read it from somewhere & decided to try it..

[@carlmatischok2469]

eye is the point you could but do the exactly the same as adjusting the screws on your throttle cable all your doing is keeping your main jet open as there no free play in the throttle

[@thesighbored]

The rate of twisting the throttle is not affected by adjusting the cable tension, only no free play, with a larger diameter the rate where the throttle is opened is increased, thus less wrist moment to open the throttle quicker.

[@carlmatischok2469]

but without having the free play your throttles constantly open

[@carlmatischok2469]

it's almost holding your throttle partially open and blipping it from 1/4 throttle instead of from 0 trottle and the range of move ment is decressased but only affective if you have free play

[@thesighbored]

No free play in your throttle is dangerous, you can accidentally accelerate or unable to stop properly. Fast throttle and no throttle free play are not the same in my opinion.

[@hardrockSaurabh]

Is the modification still good & safe, or you had to reapply the glue?

[@thesighbored]

I am still using it till today without any issue or touch-ups.

[@nickheinz3737]

Ride Safe not reckless!

[@joehooyen725]

Kinda fun working on your own bike eh? Next project we want to see you changing your own oil instead of paying a mechanic. I think it's easier than your throttle mod!Anyways good vid as usual !!

[@thesighbored]

It was nice to do it by myself, still have self-trust issues though. For oil change I don't save anything by doing it myself, the shop does it without labor charge, only pay for the parts. Plus I don't have the proper tools, not to mention where to dump the used/old oil safely.

[@JunkieVirus]

why is the sweaty band covering the brake fluid can?

[@thesighbored]

It's actually a hair scrounge / band.. Don't want the plastic to fade and crack under the hot sun when parked out in the open. Some also say it's to prevent any brake fluid leak/drip from contacting the motorcycle part/body as it is corrosive and damaging.

[@JunkieVirus]

no that's actually not at all. very logic. we in the netherland have mostly rain :P not so much sun. but still i'm gonna do this now, when i get mij z800. thanks for the tips!

[@arrowstheorem1881]

Is LANE SPLITTING illegal and unsafe?

[@thesighbored]

Depending on your country's laws, some places is legal, some places it is not. I feel lane splitting is much safer for the rider than not splitting. When you are not splitting lanes it is easy to get rammed into by vehicles behind you because they are too busy playing on their mobile phones and did not "see" you in front of them. Lane splitting also reduces traffic congestion as bikes do not occupy the lane and move on faster than cars. Of course there are dangers but the pro of splitting outweighs the cons anytime.

[@teoandy3493]

Where can we get this modify?

[@thesighbored]

You can do it yourself (DIY), just get a cable tie and super glue from any hardware shop.

[@klxerjake3086]

are you new to your helmet ?

[@thesighbored]

New to what helmet? Sorry I don't understand.

[@thebikeAddict23]

wow very nice diy :)

[@thesighbored]

Simple and nice result when riding.

[@thebikeAddict23]

+TheSighBored cost reduce also great one hehe

[@thesighbored]

Definitely.

[@thebikeAddict23]

Gosh if i have a bike now so much thing wanna do

[@thesighbored]

Money money money.

[@jakeizlove]

Thanks for sharing!

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for viewing!

[@yassirbarden9198]

What is the function of fast trottel.

[@thesighbored]

Less wrist movement to open the throttle faster.

[@rogerng848]

Is nice work diy, but will it slip off?? Look like not 100% haha!

[@TatsByTaco]

Nope, but even if it does it’s not really a big deal, just fix it when you get home

[@vinkenwood8233]

it's nice, but unfortunately it doesn't work with Airbus.

[@thesighbored]

I guess not too

[@thatfakejoe]

Bro what if i make the cable tie two layers? to get a bigger diameter obviously hehe. If there a possibility that im gonna fckup? Have you tried?

[@thesighbored]

Yes it is possible to put two layers, just make sure there is enough clearance in your throttle housing so that it doesn't get snagged. I didn't do it because one was enough for me. The throttle will be too abrupt for street use I believe.

[@thatfakejoe]

Oic.. Alright tqvm bro. Btw, I really admire all your vids. Kipidap bro !

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for the support!

[@ownyourworld]

Still good vids .

[@thesighbored]

Thanks!

[@chihuahuaverde425]

Holy cow! You can ride!

[@thesighbored]

I'm actually a slow rider..

[@TatsByTaco]

The speed is in KM

[@tokyoroad0824]

that's the #AnakAnakMalaysia band!

[@thesighbored]

#freebie

[@awanish49]

what is the carom bar on upside the handle

[@thesighbored]

Sorry I don't understand, do you mean the Ohlins steering damper?

[@JumpMasterJef]

So after all that, the throttle barely moved, which would barely affect how it feels, what a waste of time lol.

[@thesighbored]

If you wanted the travel even shorter just add more, but if you are street riding it will be hard to control your throttle as little movement will result in huge throttle.

[@malikperang6820]

bro mana nak dapat cable tie hijau tu

[@thesighbored]

Beli kat Mr DIY kalau tak silap..

[@rafizihazim9675]

at the end of the video you said that it was easy DIY modification but to me that is a very complicated project..

[@thesighbored]

The basics of it is simple, just add a stripe of zip-tie onto the throttle, just need to take care while doing it.

[@1000sofusernames]

LOL. Don't ever try and fix anything on your bike if you think this is complicated.

[@avaultz]

liquid paper as a marker~ lol

[@thesighbored]

The best! Haha!

[@harisyoung4110]

why marking using liquidpaper sound weird to you ?.. use whatever is better than none at all.. also what you wish his using for the mark instead of liquid paper ?.. maybe your brain processing ram is need to fully reboot because that thing also will be issue for your mind... normal thing people used whatever available around them to diy repair... although cant you see his doing that job done at house and not workshop ?..what the point for him to buy or having complete workshop tool and special tool for the house keep that will definetely be only seldom uses it..

[@hasanbayraktar5681]

Or you can also check this video out, hope it works for your bike kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKqVlZ1vi9t4mqs

[@thesighbored]

Thanks, have seen that before, it's not same with setting free-play and doing fast throttle.

[@kylehennen]

Never Pays to be Too Safe!

[@nickbergeron4751]

Kyle Hennen I caught that too

[@ahmedtorke3182]

hi brother me follw you in Egypt ❤💞💜💪🔱🌿✋

[@thesighbored]

Thanks for the support, greetings from Malaysia!

[@ahmedtorke3182]

TheSighBored thnQ brother ✋❤

[@oldscrote2]

Yes very good then during a ride the glue fails and your throttle jams wide open as you are going into a bend, happy days, road riders dont need this, , oh and by the way in the trade we call that a lash-up mate.

[@thesighbored]

Yes that's a concern to be addressed.. Appreciate it..

[@antabotwippy]

I'm riding 2013 zx6r. hehe

[@thesighbored]

Nice!

[@dinxsy8069]

I'm going to be one of those safety guys that complain haha, but suit up dude it's not worth the risk.

[@thesighbored]

Your complaint has been duly noted sir. :) Thanks!

[@dinxsy8069]

TheSighBored Good Good,

[@Hoggdoc1946]

It already has a 1/4 turn throttle, why would any sane person want a fast throttle action....

[@thesighbored]

Need for speed? Racers can get wrist fatigue so they want fast throttle to minimize wrist movement in a race..

[@Hoggdoc1946]

TheSighBored - Ya and I'm sure it really helps with the off idle issues most fuel injected bikes suffer from... Makes no sense to me...

[@dsmdallas2466]

while your out , bring me some fly lice Yoko! joke....

[@ownyourworld]

First 👍🏻

[@tiki_riot]

Is this legal? 😂

[@thesighbored]

Compared to buying a fast throttle off the shelf? I guess it's the same. It's just fast throttle anyway.

[@tiki_riot]

No as in, is it legal to superglue a piece of plastic onto a bike throttle 😂 I feel like this would be highly illegal in the UK

[@thesighbored]

What the cops don't know can't tell anyway.. The bigger concern is for the biker, to make sure it's stuck on properly otherwise you could get the throttle stuck. Even on stock throttle there's chances of that happening too.

[@dsmdallas2466]

this did nothing!!!! simply adjust cable slack properly. lmao

[@djturnz]

DSM Dallas wrong. It's the same effect as changing a sprocket. The diameter is changed, so it takes less rotation to pull the cable the same distance.

[@britneywilliams5615]

Trottle 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this guy is pure tratistani

[@samk1283]

[@thesighbored]

Proud to be Malaysian. :)

[@adamkamal452]

second!

[@thesighbored]

Some people call second as "first loser".. Hahaha, just kidding.

[@napper1496]

Dude stop biting your nails.boak

[@thesighbored]

It's not due to biting.. But yeah they don't grow to tip anymore.. Life goes on..
