What type of throttle?

<< < (2/2)

LesterPiglet:
What type of spring did you use Tom? I hate the way I need to take two swings at my throttle.

Tomb:
Engineers stores where I worked at the time, with my spring in hand went throught the shelves of tension springs until I found one weaker, they are ordered in long lengths, and cut myself a bit off and made up a spring.

That doesn't help does it LOL, sorry ::)

z1100r:
The throttle in the link will be horrendous. you will soon get fed up with that.
Stiff controls make a bike horible to ride. That throttle is for a large bodied carbuettor single cylinder motorcrosser  and IMO is entirely unsuitable. (I have tried one)

Tomb:

Mine has about the same amount of lift per 1/4 turn so presumably the same throttle, its not too bad to use, I've had it on the bike for 28 years and don't notice it, though did when I first got the bike.
