Hi Everton, its a tough job but someones got to do it....:saint:

You up for a throttle mod then?

Nathanus piccie is interesting, although i think if you used a monster throttle, or rotated the 916 jobbie, the cables would route better underneath the m/cylinder?

Well I must admit I never really noticed any issues with the throttle rotation until you brought the topic up.

There is noticeably more travel than on my VFR for instance. I can't say I remember much from my 996.

I'll be checking everyone's bike tomorrow now........... :lol:

I dont really need a quicker action throttle.I just need a twistgrip that does'nt wobble around in the housing!:mad:

I've just got a 999S and I definitely need a quicker action throttle. Can anyone recommend a dealer/workshop near West London who could supply & fit the Corse kit?

Ive got jhp on the case, dont know how much though.

The corse item is going to be £200 ish.

The one reapers done is £158 + fitting it for the non mechanicals.

I think there is quite a bit of money to play with there re the jhp option.


But, by all means lets start a list to offer up for discount to whoever.

Does this mean that there could be some kind of group purchase - maybe with a discount ?

imo, i quite like to the extra throttle travel, you can be more precise with how many berries you are giving it through the twisty stuff!:smug:

me too, i've been looking at this post but dont really feel the need for any quicker throttle action myself. if you've got 130+ at the rear wheel i would have though the key is getting the power on smoothly rather than more agressively. maybe people ride alot quicker/harder than me.

i know for a fact that i found it really hard to put the power down in the wet when i was out in spain and for me at least any quicker action would have been quite simply a nightmare.

Its so you can crack that sun bitch throttle open for the power wheelies ,with out having to have a double jointed wrist :devil:

Any progress with this, seems to have gone a bit quite :puzzled:
