Quick action throttle mod
Quick action throttle: increase the radius of cable housing to get a shorter stroke from 0-WOT.
In turn increase sensitivity of throttle.
Thought of sharing this mod. Just a temporary mod, i think the cable might brake at the junction in the long run.
Required:
1. screwdriver set to remove throttle
2. axe
3. pipe dia (anything >2.5cm will work fine) and thickness~3mm
4. file to smoothen edges
5. super glue
Caution: wrong fitment of the modified throttle might lead to locking of throttle or breakage of cable during unexpected situations. Modify the throttle at your own risk, iwon't be responsible for any damages.
Steps:
1. Remove throttle from the housing carefully.
2. Use a pipe with dia >2.5cm and thickness~2mm depending on your % throttle reduction
Cut it into 2 circular pieces of ~2-3 mm each. One piece should be cut ~1-2 mm which should fit inside existing cable groove.
3. Cut the above circular pipe and smoothen the edges using a file.
4. Take ~60% of the circular pipe cut piece circumference and paste them as shown below using superglue. Smaller thickness piece must go inside the groove. Remember to smoothen the ends of the plastic piece going inside the groove into a wedge shape so that it is gradual and doesnot break the cable.
5. Finally fix the throttle into the housing and smoothen the edges lying on the faces so that the throttle is free to come back to its own position. This is very important .
Grease if necessary
throttle reduction:
initial groove radius(STOCK) : 1.7cm
new groove rad: 1.9 cm
=(1.9-1.7)/1.7~18% reduction
Above figures are approximate. Actual results may vary.
