Throttle Lever Review Wanted

[subhard]

Another vote for kvpi. There's plenty of cheap new ones on eBay. They also come in all sizes and colors so you don't need an adapter.

Blowsion's are ridiculous. Hate em

nobody should ever need an adapter because running a kawi cable is so much better

Too bad it took so long to figure this out.

TBM adjustable has my vote as well.

I like the Sato Engineering unit best but good luck finding one.

I currently have a Wamiltons which is pretty decent but it has squared edges and a short fulcrum that gives it the equivalent of a quick throw nozzle making small adjustments to throttle difficult. Not bad for me because I'm used to it but when others ride my ski and grab a handful of throttle, they get a lot more than they are expecting. :biggrin:

I had a PJS years ago, it was really nice, When I got my XMetal Steering (2004), Pat did not have any adapters, ordered a throttle from Kevin at Wamiltons, he had the adapter. It was the Sato. That one is like butter...... The KVPI reminds me of a cheese grater. painfull, UMI, ok but has sharp points..........

you just need a good worn out kvpi like mine, it has angle now

Why? I Have the Holy Grail of Finger Throttles............

 

[special fx]

I'm in the minority.....I love the stock throttle

Well now that I've got a nice steering setup..It's time to update my stock finger throttle now. I have small hands, so I'm running vans grips(sames size as ruffians). I'm looking to spend 40$ or less. What would you suggest?

 

[amitchell]

If you can score a used TBM for that get it. I adjusted mine with a slight downward angle. When I pull the throttle lever it it follows the inside of my finger down as it wraps the grip. Very comfy!

 

[hondamxracer]

I've tried two aftermarket throttle levers, Blowsion and UMI. My preference is the UMI for sure. The square edges and width of the Blowsion make it less comfortable in my opinion.

oem yamaha for me!! I have tried kvpi,umi,and the tbm. But always end up going back to stock.

 

[Roseand]

If only the oem yami was good looking.. haha

Function first^^^

This is true! But with a sexy rrp riser bar setup and a nice turfed rn chinpad, black vans odi grips..billet blowsion turnplate and bearing setup..A stock throttle just doesn't match

Don't stop now, pull the trigger. "It only costs a little more to go first class."
