Re: Twitchy bike

It is a twitchy *** bike. Engine brake is a monster on the bike. I know about the speed sensor disco, but we already did that on your bike and mine. If there any other tips, I'd def like to know!

Re: Twitchy bike

I posted this in another thread. I put the 600rr throttle tube and switch on my f4i and when I did it became noticeably twitchy. Nags did the same thing and he said the same thing about how his bike got twitchier. So take an F4i throttle tube and put it on your 600rr and it should become more like a turd f4i Worth a shot for something so cheap.

Re: Twitchy bike

Alright, checked it out. Stock is def a 1/4 turn or less throttle. The cable sits pretty high off the clip on. It could def be ground down to a smaller radius, thus making for a smoother throttle. I ordered an F4i throttle tube to compare to the stock 600RR tube. I'll post up my findings when it arrives.

My old 04 gixxer 1000 was way smoother! My F4i felt like a pedal bike in comparison.

So, I haven't gotten to really ride with the F4i throtle tube, because my knee is still coming out of socket, but,... The f4i throttle tube is def a larger turn than the stock 600RR tube, and prolly woth the 9 bucks. Should make the bike more enjoyable in my opinion.
