anyone running a more mild throttle cam? I'm thinking of getting one to help with the twitchy-ness of my 929.

 

throttle cam?

 

it's what your throttle cable attaches to. as you rotate the throttle tube, the cable gets wound around the throttle cam. a different profile cam alters how the throttle works

 

Throttle tube on the handlebars?

Or the part on the throttle bodies that the cable hooks into?


The throttle tube on the handlebars, is already the smallest possible one on hondas.

And I've never heard of anyone changing the thing on the throttle bodies

 

Prolly Talking About The Throttle Tube. I Dont Think Anyone Makes An Aftermarket Cam For The Throttle Bodies!

 

yes on the handlebars. the aftermarket cams I've been looking at aren't round, which allows for more control. they list them for honda's but mostly cover dirt bikes. I emailed them to see if they have any applications that would work with my bike. I don't see why they wouldn't, they're all 7/8" bars right?

 

Why would you want this, seriously? The only reason I would ever change it is if I had a drag bike and just wanted to go from 0-WOT in a hurry and I would get a 1/4 turn.
I don't really see how this throttle here is going to help. Why not just learn w/ your stock one like everyone else? Everone's always looking for the easy way out these days. Practice.

 

Learn a little throttle control!!!!!!:YEAH

 

Oh well the thing is, the SMALLER the throttle tube, the easier the throttle is to control. And the bigger the tube, the snappier and quicker the throttle turn is..


The thing is, honda street bikes, already have the smallest possible throttle tube to fit on a 7/8" bar

Bikes like the r6 and R1 however, can benefit from changing out throttle tubes, because there throttle tubes are bigger, kind of like the ones in your picture.



edit: and in that picture, I'm not exactly sure the fact its 'flat' is whats making it easier to control, its just the fact that the ones that are flat, are slightly smaller, so it pulls less on the throttle cable.
But honda's are already as small as you can get pretty much :YEAH

 

and while we're at it why doesn't everyone learn with stock gears and stock clipons? and who needs a HB anyways, everyone needs to learn a little throttle control.

I'm not necessarily taking the easy way out, if I wanted to do that I'd get an f4i or 636, just trying to speed up the learning curve a bit.

 

First of all, running a larger sprocket actually makes it harder to learn slow stuff when u r starting out b/c it makes it a lot more twitchy. Don't really understand your comment about clipons b/c no matter if you have them or db bars it doesn't make it any easier. And handbrakes aren't needed at first. But, if u want to get a full bag of tricks you better learn how to use one. And getting a 636 won't really help u out. It could possibly be the best stunt bike ever, yes, but it's not b/c it has an auto pilot.

 

every squid needs their handicap! LOL

 

so whats yours?

 

your mother..... I dont have to spend a ton of money on her and wait all night..... 30 minutes and half a 6 pack and then THE PANTIES DROP!

 

you want to suck my dick off that bad, huh?

 

nah, you just arent doing it for me anymore...... you're mom runs her fingers through my hair and spanks me like the nawty boy that I am.

 

thats a sweet wheelie in your avatar, its just too bad that you will never be able to that.

you suck at life.

 

shes a freak about golden showers!

 

yeah, like it takes all sorts of talent...................

 

then why do you have a picture of me, oh thats right because you cant wheelie.
