R6 throttle mod

I was just wondering has anyone done the quick action
throttle mod on there blade yet.
thinking of doing it myself soon and would like to
hear anyone else's experiences.

 

IMHO, if you're going to do it, fit a proper QAT (eg, HRC) and don't bodge it with the R6 tube.

 

from one write up I seen it basically slots right
in with very little modifications to be done.
the price is what puts me off the HRC kit seeing
the R6 tube costs £20

 

Yep i have done it , since doing it i have done 20 track days ish and a 3000 mile trip around europe . I got the throttle tube £8 ebay but are hard to find just make sure you get the 2CO tube as there are some special edition old shape r6's . you have to slacken the throttle cables off at the throttle bodies it just makes the swearing less !!!!. Then the hardest part and its not that hard is to dremel away a part of the casting inside the throttle housing took me 15 mins . Just take a bit at a time away its just so new throttle tube moves freely. write up with plenty of pics is on another blade sit. I have done my 2 friends bikes aswell makes a hell of a diffrence

 

The HRC tubes costs about £25.

You don't need the cables; just the tube.

 

see I seen the tubes only at 26-28 quid but I was told
it needs the cables.

 

I fitted the tube only to my 2010 model. No modification of any part & the cables look identical; work perfectly.

You will still need to remove the airbox & slacken off the throttle cables (all the way out); at both ends.

Trust me; I'm a doctor.

 

Are you able to use a Power Commander to adjust the throttle response?

 

responce

I dont think so ???

 

Swiss T hit the nail on the head.

 

Im sure it did something similar - i had it on my old bike when it was fitted...

 

Don't understand your question. What do you mean?

 

You can, yes.

The throttle is obviously not connected to the PC, but the PC map can be changed to give a different AFR for a give revs. E.G. if you have a snatchy throttle at low revs, you get the PC to add more fuel to the mix at low revs. Not a very good explanation but you get the idea. It depends what you are after; the PC software calibrates throttle position so you may be able to manipulate that?

 

I think that's what i meant!

where you open the throttle say 25%, but you are actually opening the equivalent of say 80% (if set using the PC)

 

If you turn the throttle say 25%.............the butterflys in the throttle bodies opens 25% of their travel ( we,re not talking QAT but basic fitment),but........if you dial in a fuel map via a PC111 then the fuel injected for a larger throttle opening can be injected thus giving you better responce but at the 25% opening.
Now then................If your bike was "Fly by Wire" then it would certainly be possible to alter the butterfly opening in relation to throttle movement along with fueling.
Trust me................It's "Witchcraft" and best kept away from at all costs!!!!
