skyline1 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi All I have been looking at the above aluminium X- Pro throttle grip to fit my beta evo 250. as a novice rider which type would you advise? soft to medium power delivery or soft to ultra? Not sure if there are any other variations. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwilson Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Soft to medium. They're great for slow speed control on cambers and in sections. They are very effective. I've had one on my last 3 bikes the current being a 2012 250 evo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffnutter Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Is that the Factory 250 Mr wilson? Slow speed control, Over what type of cambers? Do you use it regularly in trials or is it just pleasure riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnkk Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yes the control you are getting on the Beta with the slow to medium throttle on Mr.Wilson is bang on the button look forward to being in your company again to pick up some more tips.

ianwilson Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 John KK your letting the side down with your listed bike. Come out of the shadows and announce to the world you've seen the light and moved to Beta. jeffnutter Its only a matter of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev444c Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Good advice mr wilson pulling on my slow to medium throttle over them cambers has learnt me a lot. Cheers. Team beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use it regularly in trials or is it just pleasure riding? It is the Factory looking 250, lol. Its not far off. At the moment I use it for a major learning curve. I have only had the bike about 2 months. No trials as yet, I was going to start entering next year once I got a grip of the bike. I want the bike to handle well at slow speeds & give me instant power when I require. not asking much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry my misunderstanding with my answer above, my name is Wilson & I have an Evo 250 with all carbon panels & guards like the Factory bikes.

skyline1 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 So I guess the next question is: are they easy to fit? I believe the twist grip fits straight onto the domino throttle body? Thanks for the help chaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwilson Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Straight swap unless you use bar ends . Even then its 2 minutes with a hacksaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnkk Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Ups sorry yes need to change my bike profile really like the Beta 250 and yes with a slow to medium throttle body on the bike a really nice forgiving bottom end that you are in control of and the bike not the bike on control of you .

betapoo Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 How do you find the xpro throttle on rocks? Responsive enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwilson Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Not really Mr. Nutter. Never been the same since the world round when I was awoken to someone in the room snoring like Toni Bou's 4rt on full throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
