Perhaps you could pass on info to Mike Stanley,he's got a problem with throttle action,resulting in the writing off of a two week old Fila rep!!

I fitted 998 domino twistgrip & single 998 cable, but changed it back as it was too sensitive for me.if anyone wants it for £40 &p/p give me a ring on 07860 205804

too sensative for you and the whole 996/ 998 range, i think not.......
Dont forget what youve "upgraded" to, is std on the other shape!!

[andyb]

oh and if u used the std 996/8 throttle cable , itll be too short.!! perhaps thats harf yer problem???

[superpotts]

not too short if you route it in front of headstock instead ofbehind

Sorry to drag this up again but just to say that I'm dropping mine off at ProTwins tomorrow to have the single cable mod done in time for TA3. Should be interesting...

Had mine done last weekend at Pro V’s, it’s so good to be able to get full throttle in one twist instead of having to take two handfuls, the spring tension is quite a bit more than the standard throttle but at least I’ve lost that vague feeling, all in all very nice indeed. Also had the suspension setup and new Carbone Lorraine front pads fitted, what a difference, it feels like a new bike. Can’t wait for the rock this week.

Oh nearly forgot, had a slipper clutch fitted as well. Don’t you just love these money pits called Ducati’s

Throttle mod £200.00 Supplied and fitted

Wow....£200! It'll be good to compare yours to mine, and have a look at what theyve done. See you at Rockingham.
