Hi Guys,
just wanting to know if anyone on here has done the R6 throttle tube mod as a quick action throttle. what are the pros and cons of this mod and what is there to look out for.
Also what year model tube to use I have read that the 06 model is a 40mm cam and the earlier ones are 33-35mm cams so the larger one would be better as a shorter throw but how harsh is it etc....
Thanks

Ok I finally got around to doing this mod and I can honestly say it is well worth doing. below is some general info that I found
2007 Vtr Firestorm
Part: Standard.
Colour: Black.
Diameter of cable pulley: 31.8mm.
Turn: full
Mods: None.
2000 Vtr1000 SP1
Part: Standard.
Colour: Black.
Diameter of cable pulley: 33.7mm
Turn: full
Mods: None.
20xx SP1 HRC
Part: Modified
Colour: Black.
Diameter of cable pulley: 37.5mm
Turn: 1/5
Mods: Possible mods needed to housing.
2004 R1.
Part: 4YR-26240-02. Could be different for other countries.
Colour: Black.
Diameter of cable pulley: 36.5mm.
Turn: 1/5.
Mods:
The ring/washer that comes on the throttle can either be cut off/left outside the housing or trimmed down in diameter so is flush with the part that cables wrap around. Other than that it is plug and play. I trimmed the ring down and had it inside the housing, this made a snug fit without any sideways movement.
2006 R6.
Part: 2CO-26240-00. This number is what was on the yamaha part label on the bag the tube came in. Some people in the USA are saying their # is 2C0-26240-00-00 (extra 00).
Colour: White.
Diameter of cable pulley: 40.5mm.
Turn: 1/6.
Mods:
For this throttle to fit inside the housing, part of the lower housing needs to be removed with a dremel. Once this is done it fits perfectly. This part also comes with a ring/washer, it does not need to be modified because of the change to the housing. Again I left the ring inside the housing for a closer fit and to stop any side to side movement.
The R6s if similar to the R1 and is smaller in diameter.
