This is a very easy thing to do and makes a huge differance. Buy a Yamaha R6 2006 throttle sleeve, part number 2C0-26240-00-00 £18.27   Remove original throttle sleeve and attached switchgear and you will be left with this  remove 2 small screws being careful as the one with the copper on has a spring inside for the starter button.     Then you will be able to remove the part which needs trimming down, be careful as you dont want to break the locating clip on the side. Using a dremmel or similar trim away at the plastic and also create a groove for the cable to run in. go slow and keep checking progress but just holding it all together again with the nrw R1 sleeve inplace untill it moves without catching.      You can see here how much bigger the new cam is  Once clearence is sorted, refit to the bike and re-adjust cables as neccessary, just llok at how much shorter the throw is. The white line was the original WOT position, about 15mm lower than it is now with this mod    Enjoy | ||

NICE THREAD  | ||

Nice job! How is it at smaller throttle openings when just cruising? | ||

My bike is undergoing a major front end conversion so is off the road for a while, but going by people on the Yamaha forum it is great for quicker riding, a bit snappy for cruising but you get used to it. With this guide I would say about an hours work all in if you know your bike and good with the spanners  | ||

i heard about this conversion before, be careful i cant even wot in first now imagine getting those throttle blades opened 4x faster..... hang on!!!!!!  | ||

Keep in mind the size of our throttle bodies, they are HUGE by any standards. Opening too fast can kill the motor by giving it a gigantic gulp of air(only). A few folks have seen this with the OEM setup when "blipping" the throttle at idle. Definitely do whatever makes her respond to YOU better, but I'll pass on this one. Zack | ||

there anything out there that leaves the first 10-15% travel stock then gets really aggressive after that? | ||
| Avalaugh |
I think an R1 throttle sleeve of a similar year has slightly less duration, but i dont know exactly which year ! I did think about the stalling problem Zac4mac, i bought another switchgear housing just incase so i can have another go if this is the case, but i have a steady wrist so hoping all will be fine. | ||

can this be done to my 99 M2 ? WOT is a pain in the wrist,and a quick action throttle would be great for me, | ||

Avalaugh - Nice presentation your mechanical skills are impressive. would you have to do the same with these?http://www.g2ergo.com/ It just occurred to me, is your username the contraction of 'have a laugh'? :-) | ||
| Avalaugh |
The name has been about since my school days, i have a tendancy to always smile, alot haha The g2ergo looks good, if you had a chat with them im sure they could come up with something, i'm just not a fan of the norm, which is why i bought the Buell, and why i continue to personalise it. And as for the M2 i have no idea i'm afraid ! | ||

I'm doing this exact same thing right know but looking at an motion pro R1 with custom made cables.... might do this until I get that figured out... nicely done | ||
| Avalaugh |
Blakesadbag, let me know what it's like please, I'm itching to get out on my bike, but it's in bits still  | ||

he he he where did you learn that Hat trick. I found it online a while back and did the same thing. as posted in the other forum... lol' your pics are more clear than my phone pics though. Glad you like it... many more will as well. I jst didnt have the darn part number for the yammi part on hand.thanks for that missing link for me... Me me me | ||
| Avalaugh |
Xoptimizedrsx, i updated your thread on the other forum as well | ||

Long time coming. Nice job. I too am concerned about the smaller throttle openings. Too bad a progressive quick throttle can't be developed. Not only can you kill the motor with blips, but the motor bogs significantly at lower RPM when the throttle is whacked wide open. A smoother, slower roll on does a much better job in those circumstances. | ||

An old trials rider trick was to use a needle file to deepen the cable groove near the nipple to alter the 'cam' profile. I've got a big carb on my vintage race bike and this calms it down a bit at small throttle openings. | ||
| Avalaugh |
Crowley, thats a great tip, once i finally get mine back on the road, if its too much i will try that. | ||
| Xoptimizedrsx |
nice trick Crowley... mine is not giving me any issues since its even. I have the early style cam on the TB. the later ones have a progressive cam so its slightly different. Mike | ||
| Avalaugh |
The early 1125's ? Mines a feb 08 so that's an early one I would pressume. I'm sure it will be fine as I hardly do any town riding. | ||
| Xoptimizedrsx |
I got that backwards... I have the Late and the early have progressive... Opps moment... MY BAD... Mike | ||

Can we revive this topic? Was everything in the stock housing still retainable after installation of this? All you did was buy that part and then trim a groove into the new one and mount it back up? The kill switch and starter and everything else stil stayed stock? Thanks! |
