August 23, 200917 yr Has anyone tried the XBlok Variable throttle barrel that starts off slow action and then moves to very fast?. If so is the slow element very noticeable in comparison to a slow action throttle at low throttle openings. Does it take much getting used to?
August 23, 200917 yr Actually they make 3 different ones, all slow start but different 'speeds.' They are very low friction and as far as I can tell do the job. At lowest revs it seems like a slow action one but picks up more without having to turn it so far. Has a solid end to keep the crap out - Solid ally billet perhaps. Seems OK on my Pax Sherco 290 which is pretty lively. Good delivery from the company too. I will keep it on the bike. Took about 2 minutes to get used to!
August 23, 200917 yr Author Thanks for that. Which model have you fitted. Slow-medium, Slow to Fast or slow to ultrafast ?
August 23, 200917 yr Actually they make 3 different ones, all slow start but different 'speeds.' Like 99.99% of us need anything other than a 'normal' S L O W throttle?
August 24, 200917 yr Mine is I think a slow - medium, overall you don't turn it as much as a slow one. The style of throttle is not always in line with the bikes power. My daughter's Txt 80 has a mega quick one fitted standard!
August 25, 200917 yr hey, where can you get these things never heart from it (i live in belgium) could be just the thing i need to smooth the sherco in lower revs regards bob

Ian, I take it that you did not like the throttle responce on the 010 beta you were trying out on Saturday. I think the guy that owns it was finding it a bit of a handfull,as it looked like he had two left feet at times!
