Popular Post Guest unknown Posted September 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2014 Difficulty: Easy Time:~15 minutes Tools and Parts Required: 8 mm Hex driver 4 mm Hex driver R6 Throttle Tube available here on amazon (Motion Pro Throttle Tube #01-0094) Long flathead screwdriver 3/8 ratchet 2 8mm wrenches or small crescent wrenches WD-40 1) Remove the throttle side bar end with the 8mm hex driver. 2)Slide the throttle tube protective boot back. 3) Remove the 2 hex bolts on the throttle tube housing using the 4mm hex driver. 4)The housing should now split into two pieces. Set them aside and remove the throttle cables from the cam of the throttle tube. Start with the short one and then rotate the tube around to remove the longer one. 5) Take your screwdriver and insert it about an inch deep in between the grip and the old tube. Take extra care to not rip the grip. Spray some WD-40 in gap created and slowly slide the screwdriver around the grip. Repeat this process until the screw driver is all the way through the grip and there is plenty of WD-40 between the grip and tube. It should now slide right off the old tube. 6) Clean the grip with soap and water to remove the WD-40 residue. Set it aside to dry. Take the long screwdriver or ratchet and knock off the end cap of the Motion Pro tube by inserting it through the throttle tube and applying force. 7) Insert the Motion Pro throttle tube onto the handlebar and attach the longer throttle cable first and then shorter one. Reinstall the lower housing and make sure the notch on the bottom housing is lined up in the hole in the handlebars. 9) Install the upper housing and squeeze them together. If the throttle tube doesn't spin and return freely, then an adjustment will need to be made to the shorter cable. Use the 2 wrenches and add slack to the cable. The two pieces where the boots slides over the housing boot should line up when the slack is correct. 10) Reinstall the two 4mm hex bolts and then the bar end. This is a shot of the throttle tube closed This is the throttle wide open. I'd estimate about 80 degrees of movement from closed to open. Thanks to @quixote for helping me with the throttle tube sticking issue I was having. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmucat Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Nice, looks pretty simple to do. Whats the benefits of this, just quicker throttle response, less movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unknown Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yep, I find that pinning the throttle wide open takes a lot of movement. This just shortens that distance so I don't have to put my elbow under the handlebars to hit WOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killafornia Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Do u have a write-up for the levers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unknown Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Not at the moment but I can put one together. I didn't take pics of my lever installation though. It's quite simple however, and I can do a non pictoral version if you would like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member V8titanpwr Posted September 14, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 14, 2014 Nice write up man. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninracing Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Did the quick turn mod and WOW! Remember to rotate the throttle housing as far forward as you can without interfering with the front brake lever (doesn't hurt to rotate the brake lever down as well while you're at it) for full effect. Oops my O2 sensor came unplugged too...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she3pdog Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Just ordered the throttle sleeve. This was something I didn't see as a problem at first, but I'm noticing it more and more lately. Seems easy enough to fix though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantheraleo Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I just ordered the Motion Pro 01-0094 Throttle Sleeve. Nice vid. Magsz 1 O judgment!

she3pdog Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It's very worth it, and very easy. I'd classify myself as "mechanically challenged", and I even did it without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantheraleo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It is done. A great mod. I struggled for five minutes getting the short cable adjusted, but got it done. I love the short throttle range. Much better. O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause...till it come back to me.

Premium Member applekoolaid Posted May 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 2, 2015 Okay, I need some guidance. This did not work for me. I bought the correct Motion Pro 01-0094 tube, but when installed it kept rubbing the inside of the housing and sticking like it was too thick for the housing. I went back and forth 2 or 3 times between the OEM tube and MP tube and every time the OEM was fine (so I know I'm installing it right) and the MP tube rubbed the housing and stuck. I checked off all the boxes to look for 1) nub in handlebar hole 2) cable routed correctly 3) cable adjusted properly 4) etc, etc, etc.... I thought I would be smart and take off a little plastic on the MP tube so it wouldn't rub the housing, but you guys know what happened then right?.... Yep, same range of motion as the OEM tube (the whole point of it being larger diameter) S...M....H.... So.........what did I do wrong? Why did this not work?

YZEtc Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Did you loosen the cable slack adjusters a whole lot before you installed the new throttle tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member applekoolaid Posted May 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 2, 2015 No, didn't touch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZEtc Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well, there's the problem. Since the cam of the new throttle tube is larger in diameter, it needs that done prior to install - loosening the cable slack adjusters and allowing lots of slack to give you the extra room with the cables needed for the install.After install, you set the cable slack to where you want it (not so much that there's too much slop, but also not so little that the throttle sticks). There are slack adjusters at both ends of the cables. My choice of throttle tube was the genuine Yamaha part first used on the 2006 YZF-R6V, part number 2C0-26240-00-00 .Quality part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest unknown Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I had the same issue with mine. I had to adjust the cable slack to get it to work properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fflier9 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Does this do anything to eliminate the lateral play (back and forth play along the length of the handlebar) ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZEtc Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Does this do anything to eliminate the lateral play (back and forth play along the length of the handlebar) ? Thanks No.This is due to the throttle tube cam having clearance within the throttle housing, the 2-piece housing that clamps to the handlebar.I believe this clearance is there to be extra-certain things will not bind and cause a sticking throttle. Of course, things can still bind if it gets put together incorrectly or if the parts are damaged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflier9 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 So there's really nothing that can be done about that? I didn't really think there was, seems like it's part of the design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsz18 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 So there's really nothing that can be done about that? I didn't really think there was, seems like it's part of the design Unless you're going to have an over sized throttle tube made or a new throttle tube control housing designed..no, there is nothing to be done. I dont actually notice any of the lateral play when im riding, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
