April 25, 200620 yr Can anyone tell me exactly what difference this type of throttle gives you and how does it work - cheers.
April 25, 200620 yr Slow action has a smaller diameter for the throtte cable to wrap around. This means more throttle action is required to open the carb fully. Gives you more control and stops you giving it a big handful and getting spat off the back (except in my case). You will find some range of oppinion on this site as to the value of getting a slow action throttle but it helped me (sort of) tame my Sherco 290. Cheers, Mike
April 25, 200620 yr Basically 2 pie r equals circumference. Change the circumference the cable is pulled at a diferent rate depending on the size. In simple terms for any given twist, a slow throttle will move the slide less giving the bike less go. Ideal for youths who have no control over their hands when clenched around a cylindrical member.
April 25, 200620 yr some people use them for slowing the bike down or for them to be able to control it better under slow or tight sections and if they dont have good throttle control as they have more "play" in the throttle
April 25, 200620 yr Sorry to hijack the thread.. How can you tell which throttle is fitted, fast or slow? (domino on a 01' rev3). I cant decide what i have got... S.M.
April 25, 200620 yr i have to say you got to be well in touch with your bike to notice the difference the differnce lays in the color of the throttle tube ones black and the others white, now which is which??
April 25, 200620 yr Black is slow, another wayis to make the groove deeper for the first 10mm or so on the fast throttle so you have an initial slow bit of movement, use a hacksaw blade and small file (its cheaper too!!!)
April 25, 200620 yr can you buy a right wrist that is linked to the backwheel and works on a sort of ABS brakes basis but not qiute if you see what i mean
April 26, 200620 yr Dman, my rear end gets plenty of traction when I land on it! Thanks! I'm going to make a point to track you down in Tenn.!

April 28, 200620 yr Ideal for youths who have no control over their hands when clenched around a cylindrical member. : Be lovely to find a good looking woman with that affliction.
April 28, 200620 yr make sure she has small hands.... makes things look bigger <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Speaking from experience Heath
May 1, 200620 yr Thanks for the tip Heath. Looks like I'd better find a gal with mighty big hands...so she wont be frightened off.
