I did this mod using the gen 1 R6 throttle assembly. WOW!. It's like a new bike. I highly recommend this mod to any 250r owner who thinks they've gotten bored or out grown their 250. It makes the throttle so much more responsive.

The bike feels so much quicker. You don't notice much difference at higher speeds, but on the low end, HUGE difference. While it used to feel like there was a lag trying to accelerate through the lower RPMs, now just a slight twist of the wrist throws the tach up to 10K in the blink of an eye.

I was torn between trying the zip tie and getting an R6 throttle assembly. In the end, I decided it was worth the $13 to have a throttle assembly that didn't really need any modification. Turns out it did need a slight modification. I had to take about a 1/4 inch off the throttle stop with my dremmel. But other than that, it was a piece of cake.

If you're looking for a little more pep from your bike, this mod is great!!!
