howard Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Happy New year to you all, Has anyone tried the new throttles where the first bit is slow and then the action is middle or fast. It seems like a good idea but I would like some feedback please? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a good idea but I would like some feedback please?Steve Actually this can be a good concept, yet all up to personal taste really. They look really nice! I did my own based upon the ali tube domino some years back. The concept does work, sort of best of both worlds you know. Yet with the later year bike tuned less aggressively, I have not really needed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzralphy Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 After soooooo many years riding slow throttles i ground off the fast action last section of throttle no my Rev4T. I can't describe it bit i just couldn't get used to it. Happy now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Where can I get one? Who makes it? I know Matt Chambers of X-Blok does them. TrialsUK have some in stock. As for whether they work? I think it's a bit of a curates egg. You need to tell them which one you want by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stork955 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Gday, I have one on my evo (X-Block) . I like it, it has calmed down the early part of the throttle and still lets me get full throttle easily. Suits my lack of ability quite well. The quick throttle was too much for me.

It seems like a good idea but I would like some feedback please?Steve Howard, I just put a slow throttle on my bike, and it serves my ability well. Best way I can describe it is; it has a smaller diameter cable reel, thus requiring more of a twist to reach full throttle. It tamed my bike down considerably. I bought mine from RYPUSA.com, Ryan Young Products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerr Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 i find the fast action to quick for general use in sections so i use a slow action. however i find the slow action realy throws my timing out when tackling steps is one of these things the answer or do i just persevere with the slow and adapt?

ham2 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 This is a bit vague I know but..I had a bike which I struggled to ride with a slow throttle (when you needed the 'zap' but had to cover the front brake )..then I changed to a quick throttle and it became too pokey all round ( I think it was a 2003 Sherco 290). I seem to remember cutting a deeper 'start' to the groove in the fast throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motovita Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Is the initial movement of an X Blok tube less than a black (slow) Domino tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
