April 8, 201313 yr I am about to replace my throttle with a Domino. What does everyone prefer, the slow or fast action?
April 8, 201313 yr agree with gizza5 more depends on what you are use to, the power response of bike, your skill level and probably the type of use and terrain
April 8, 201313 yr I bought a TY175 once that had a Gunnar Gasser twistgrip (huge cable pulley diameter) fitted which made it about 1/8th turn from closed to open on that carby. It worked fine. Maybe on a more zippy trials motor it might have been a problem. It's also possible that you can train your mind and body to ride with just about any setup.
April 8, 201313 yr Fast everytime for me as it matches closer to the natural wrist rotation than a slow version. Some aftermarket variable respose are avaliable with a slow start and fast finish which are even better. Edited April 8, 201313 yr by mattylad

April 8, 201313 yr fast. my modern bikes have em...and a while back someone told me to try a slow one to match my vintage bikes.. it was a mess, worst experiance ever. i have since then switched all my trialers over to fast grips..best thing i ever did...when i need a hand full, i get it with out too much wrist movement..
April 8, 201313 yr If you just want to keep to std then I prefer slow but I currently have a billet alloy throttle tube fitted to my Domino throttle that starts slow and from about 1/3rd throttle is machined to medium response which I feel is a great compromise for my riding style.
April 8, 201313 yr OTF, where did you get that tube? I just put a new slow Domino on my TY and it,s a bit too slow.Sounds like the one you have would work better.
April 8, 201313 yr Always the slow throttle, when it goes a bit wrong everything speeds up anyway so slow suits all occasions.

I've thrown the box away now but they are quite common over here. Cost was I think £24.99 don't know what that is in dollars or what the shipping would be but i'll try and remember who makes them.
April 9, 201313 yr OK,thanks OTF, if you can remember it that would be great.If you,re like me though,it might be a bit hard to recall.I,m going to be 50 this year and it seems that in the past couple of years my memory and vision have been slipping. I know what you mean trialsrfun.I seem to always find a way for things to go wrong.That is why I always like to ride my own bike.
