pretty sure that the f4i's are the smallest... but it wouldn't be too hard to take a dremel to your stock one and bore the grooves out closer to the center.

Re: R1 with a F4i throttle

pretty shitty diagram but it makes sense if your looking at the throttle tube.

Re: R1 with a F4i throttle

ya, the tube might help a little, but eventually you're just going to have to learn to get better with the throttle.

if you are adding gearing you just went above and beyond the twitchiness that the stock throttle had on it. it'll be way twitchier than stock with lower gearing.

good post, i'm sure it'll help a little, but long way around it is you're still going to have to just learn to be smooth. the more you try to adjust the bike to make it smooth the more it garbages up your riding skills. just a thought.

Re: R1 with a F4i throttle

i put it like this.... i have been rockin my R6 for a while now, and never seemed to have a problem with the throttle.

i actually like the response, and it helps in small corrections on idle, and rockin smooth slow wheelies.

why would you want anything different??? and if it is so damn hard to deal with, whynot just learn on this, and then when you get BETTER, change the tube and be super killin it!?

Re: R1 with a F4i throttle

i think that was you in another thread saying 74teeth?
i know your not going to listen or whatever but a +29 rear sprocket (45stock) is probably going to get you hurt more than help you learn.
