I have been looking for a quick-turn throttle tube for the Ninja 250r for quite some time now. The Kyle racing throttle tube is over 100 dollars which is way too much to pay considering a zip tie and some glue will do the same job. Yet I am not confident having something as important as the my throttle rely on a piece of glued on plastic for it to function properly.

So I went looking for an alternative and i have found one. I have been reading about people who put r6 throttle on their cbr's and sv650's and was thinking i would give it a go on my 2010 Ninja 250r.

I went down to the Yamaha dealership and order a 2004 R6 thrrotle tube with a grip "GRIP ASSY" cost me around 25 Australian dollars.

Part Number 5SL-25240-01.

I'm glad to say it fit like a glove!

This mod was so easy and requires absolutely no cutting/modding of anything. Simply take the old ninja 250 throttle tube out and put in the r6 one and it will fit, for me without any adjustment of the throttle cables.

Will post photo's tomorrow when it's daylight.
