Thanks Steve. That was very helpful. If you don't mind doing us another massive favour, can yo please measure the diameter of the R6 and 250 tubes? I mean the part where the cable goes.

Here are all 4 as a comparo. The pics are not the best but I did measure all of them for comparison sake. I guess the R1 is not much different than stock Ninja 250R. Where the cable ends lie is a tad different so there will be a little more circumference to make the R1 tube still a little bigger than stock. Not by much mind you but I did notice a slight change. Thus the reason on my earlier posts from way back shows a difference in the pics. I noticed more when I used the R1 on my Hayabusa but slightly different animal altogether. I don't have the stock Hayabusa to compare right now. After doing all the measurements and obviously seeing the difference, the R6 would be the best bang for the buck assuming you have plenty of adjustments on the cables.
Here are some more pics as well as the diameter measurements. 750 Turbo - 31.50mm Ninja 250R - 36.75mm Yamaha R1 - 36.80mm Yamaha R6 - 40.75mm |

Hmm, my zipties work great, but I might also be ordering an R6 tube, since it's OEM quality, and god knows that installing it will take 30 seconds...
I can use some new grips as well |

Alright. I will wait for your review! Go find yourself that throttle tube. I am tired of bending my wrist so far/regripping just to get to WOT.

Jono, I'll get one, but it will be a while till I can ride. Soooo, just get one yourself.
A ziptie is free. Try it. If you don't like it, then get the R6 tube. That's also cheap. Either way, it won't be a big investment |

Okay, I guess I'll buy one. What year R6 throttle tube am I looking for? Have they changed any in the past 5 years or so?

I have spare D675 throttle tubes...I wonder if this will be an improvement. If so, could be a free mod for me

You can always compare it with the various throttle sleeve sizes Steve was kind enough to share with us. Let us know what you find out

Just looking at the comparo pics above, the D675 throttle tube looks very much like the Turbo one...so Im assuming the D675 throttle tube would actually make the throttle throw need more effort. On the D675 forums, everyone upgrades to the 1050, R1, or R6 throttle tube for a shorter throw.

It is easy to find cheap used throttle tubes for 03-05 R6's but not for 06+. And I am pretty sure that the 03-05 wouldn't be an improvement based on the pics that Steve posted. So I will just keep checking ebay every now and then. Hopefully a cheap tube comes up.

Here is the difference between my old Turbo throttle compared to the Ninja 205R throttle. Quite a difference. So if you compare the diameter of the Ninja 250R to the R6 you will get about the same change as in the pics.

This is a nice cheap mod. I no longer have to pull the throttle into position to launch. Immediate throttle response instead of the quick second for the throttle to actually get opened.

I am looking to get an '06-'09 R6 throttle sleeve fairly soon. Does anyone know if it would possibly affect fitment of aftermarket grips since the R6 sleeve have a larger diameter?

Soooo.... I fiddled about with my throttle a bit more today and added a second zip-tie to spruce things up... Now I have the throw I want, but It's binding like no tomorrow. Any solutions guys? Or have I just f**ked up my throttle? lol

Guess I'll find out lol.
Ordered some new grips and an R6 throttle sleeve (motion pro 01-0094). I hope it shortens the throw a good bit. There is seriously way too much twist on the 250 it hurts my wrist; especially considering I like to cover the front brake. Btw couldn't you just remove the 2nd zip tie? Edit Just realized I may have ordered the wrong throttle sleeve... sigh. Edit #2 The throttle sleeve we are looking for is part # 2C0-26240-00-00.

Did you do it yet? Any modification to the throttle tube (cutting edges) that needed to be performed?

I did however try the single zip-tie mod this past Sunday. I have to say there was a noticeable improvement. I was quite happy with the results. I did not have to twist the throttle as far to get it wide open and I did not have to "re-grip" like I usually did so it saved a good bit of stress on my wrists. The R6 throttle tube is supposed to offer even more of a difference so I can't wait to try it out. I will most likely not get to try out the R6 sleeve until my woodcraft clip-ons come in (hopefully later this week) as I do not really feel like trying to get the bar ends off the stock handle-bars... I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

I made this spacer out of PVC tubing. Its about the biggest diameter you can go in the switch housing. Made it a .25 turn throttle.

Sorry about that, I'm not that good with the pictures !! What I wanted to say is that bushing makes it about a quarter turn throttle.

It was really simple, took about 10 minutes . Initial fitting worked good, no rubbing. I'll fit it up permanently in the morning and see how it works.
