Is there any other solution for reducing wrist strain? - one that doesn't cause binding?

To be fair my issues were not related to the mod at all - simply the grip, and I wish I had my mod back... Though I used PVC pipe, not a zip-tie, for a more "direct fit"

maybe try not putting your wrist in an awkward position? if you are going to be leaving your throttle in one position for a long time, reposition your hand so its comfortable. yes yes i know the msf says not to. they tell you not to because idiots forget they have their hand repositioned then go to slam on the brakes because they werent paying attention and are now getting cut off and dont actually let off the throttle all the way and just wash their front out. just dont do that and you'll be fine.

For as cheap as the R6 or R1 throttle tube w/grip, this is the best way to go.
The R1 will go on with no issues at all. The R6 may need some dremeling in some areas and some adjustments in the cable as well. I have the R1 mod as I have done this mod on all my bikes. You will get a little less than 1/8" difference where it stops. The R6 I believe double that. I think the R6 may be best for the little Ninja especially for racing but maintaining a steady cruise will be more difficult. I may actually order one up since they are even cheaper than the R1. Stock R1 |

After doing this mod I noticed a lot of binding by removing the push/return throttle cable I was able to remove virtually all of the binding. Are there any major disadvantages to removing this cable?

It's basically there a a backup in case the throttle assembly on your carbs fails and doesn't snap shut on its own. This would be most likely to happen at WOT in which case you'd be stuck there, so it's a good idea to have that cable installed. I'd go back and see what you did wrong that's causing the binding and fix it.

If your throttle cable has ANY burrs, kinks, broken strands or any other obvious signs of wear, it should be replaced.

well it won't really give you more throttle, just less twist to get to WOT
the convenient side effect is that a) right when you make the mod, you're still turning the throttle the same amount which means your bike feels peppy-er, and b) it helps a lot with fine-tuning your throttle control by forcing you to get used to making tiny inputs (helps with the transition to a larger bike) |

I can only imagine that your expectations were unrealistically high, or you did something wrong.

About to do this mod, I figured I'd use some heat shrink tubing around the zip tie to add slightly more thickness and make the zip tie smooth. You guys think there would be any possible issues besides the usual binding problems people have seen here?
Some tests, the red tubing I have is a bit thicker and if I wanted more thickness I could put red over white and shrink it that way so I can get more thickness while keeping the shape. |

Did this yesterday. The tubing doesn't hold up very well so I went ahead and did it with 1 zip tie. Works beautiful!

I have been trying to get this to work. The cable tie rubs against the part with the holes in it that guides the cable in this photo
http://www.ninjette.org/forums/attac...5&d=1249856202 This appears to be the only part that is binding. Decided to give up. Not sure if a new throttle tube will make any difference as I would surely have the same clearance issues. My bike is from the first year of production '88 so maybe there are some differences. I know the colour of the throttle tube is black on my bike and the piece that guides the cable is white. It is also rather loose in the casing. Is it meant to move around? I might try and get a video if no one can understand what I mean. |

Also, just as a note: please be careful after doing this mod. The change is significant enough to require relearning a lot about the bike's handling and output. At least if you're a beginner like me :x |

I have had the bike for 3 years now and it is for my girlfriend to ride. After getting a service she wasn't happy with how far you have to twist the throttle to get the bike going as it was much shorter beforehand. |

Yes, it's exactly the same process I think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBg8Bp14u5k Video of someone doing it on the newgen, but he doesn't use a zip tie. Same process. |

I finally got this mod done. Made a difference, but not as much as I was expecting. My throttle was binding due to the serration on the zip tie, so I had to shave it till it was smooth. May be that's what made it thinner, hence not as quick as I was expecting. I might go in for a second zit tie after shaving the serration, to see if it makes things better... Unless any of you guys can give me a better idea? I'm in no place to afford buying after market tubes, so please don't recommend that.

If you're always going WOT with the bike you won't notice much of a difference I think. I'm a miser when it comes to the throttle so the difference was quote pronounced for me. |

I really think you guys should use the throttle tube from an Yamaha R1 or even an R6. So much easier to deal with and will always work flawlessly. R6 tube probably the best for the Ninjette. I currently use the R1 on my 08 Ninjette and it was better but I think the R6 would be best assuming you have enough cable adjustment. I use the R1 on both my ZRX and Hayabusa and that is best for street riding on those bikes. My Ninjette bike is completely apart so I haven't had a chance to try the R6 tube. I tried the R6 on my old Kawi 750 Turbo but the Turbo has a really small one and I don't have enough cable to make it work. I think I will look into a custom cable to use this throttle on this bike as I primarily drag race this bike. I'll post picks up soon showing the Ninjette stock tube, 750 Turbo tube, R1 tube and the R6 tube.
