So today when I got home from work I found that my Motion Pro Revolver quick throttle kit had arrived . So like a kid at Christmas I opened the box and started reading the instructions. It mentions that I need to lube the cables with a high quality "cable lube" such as Motion Pro part # xxx using Motion Pro tool part # xxx to do it. SO, how DO I manually lube the cables and what should I use since there is NO way in hell I'm buying the tool for just this job and I really don't want to wait to order "cable lube" from MP. Any suggestions folks? Thanks!
and as luck would have it....there is an old dirt track guy in Waterloo that has a shop. I'll be ringing him first thing in the morning! Sheep, you are one baaaaaaaad ass man! Thanks!
the cable luber tool is $9.50. if the guy doesn't have one when you call I'd send you mine but it'd probably cost almost as much to ship it to you and back than it would be if you just bought it yourself. its $7.50 from ronayers, stop being cheap. I'm sure you could use a couple other things to fill up the box a little. some oil and filters maybe.

If that's all the more they cost I'll just buy one. I didn't look, I just ASSumed that they were expensive so I said screw it. Now I get to call Honda East back....damnit.

Yoyodyne Racing Throttle - Quick turn adjustable throttle I'm gonna try the middle size cam in it this year. get it a little quicker than it was last year. if I like that maybe I'd try the quickest of the 3.

I've never minded the amount of twist that it takes for me to get to full throttle but what I have found myself wishing for more than once is a non-linear opening of the throttle. Short of machining my own custom cam I don't see how I'd ever get what I want but I'd really like a throttle that the first 50% of twist gives 33ish% of the opening and and the second 50% of twist gives the remaining 66ish% of the way to full throttle. That way I'd get fine control for lower speeds and lower RPM and then have it ramp up quickly once you are really trying to get things going.
...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG
Can't speak for the Motion Pro kit but the HRC quick turn throttle kit I had on my '03 wasn't overly difficult to install. No cable lube required if memory serves me right.
I'm just being careful and going by the instructions, to the letter (except I didn't buy the MP tool or lube). They called for cable lube, so I'm applying cable lube!
It's amazing, it needed new grips, and I wanted the kit. I look at as I bought some really expensive grips that came with a free quick turn throttle kit!
