cleaner Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I am about to replace my throttle with a Domino. What does everyone prefer, the slow or fast action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Slow, it matches most things I do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly1 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 slow for me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Surely it is what you prefer not what everyone else prefers? Try em both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerorev3rev4 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 agree with gizza5 more depends on what you are use to, the power response of bike, your skill level and probably the type of use and terrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I bought a TY175 once that had a Gunnar Gasser twistgrip (huge cable pulley diameter) fitted which made it about 1/8th turn from closed to open on that carby. It worked fine. Maybe on a more zippy trials motor it might have been a problem. It's also possible that you can train your mind and body to ride with just about any setup.

mattylad Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Fast everytime for me as it matches closer to the natural wrist rotation than a slow version. Some aftermarket variable respose are avaliable with a slow start and fast finish which are even better.

That in the Ann Summers catalogue ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckindenver Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 fast. my modern bikes have em...and a while back someone told me to try a slow one to match my vintage bikes.. it was a mess, worst experiance ever. i have since then switched all my trialers over to fast grips..best thing i ever did...when i need a hand full, i get it with out too much wrist movement..

grib Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 My vote is for slow, classic or modern bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 If you just want to keep to std then I prefer slow but I currently have a billet alloy throttle tube fitted to my Domino throttle that starts slow and from about 1/3rd throttle is machined to medium response which I feel is a great compromise for my riding style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot taco Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 OTF, where did you get that tube? I just put a new slow Domino on my TY and it,s a bit too slow.Sounds like the one you have would work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Always the slow throttle, when it goes a bit wrong everything speeds up anyway so slow suits all occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put a new slow Domino on my TY and it,s a bit too slow.Sounds like the one you have would work better. I've thrown the box away now but they are quite common over here. Cost was I think £24.99 don't know what that is in dollars or what the shipping would be but i'll try and remember who makes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot taco Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 OK,thanks OTF, if you can remember it that would be great.If you,re like me though,it might be a bit hard to recall.I,m going to be 50 this year and it seems that in the past couple of years my memory and vision have been slipping. I know what you mean trialsrfun.I seem to always find a way for things to go wrong.That is why I always like to ride my own bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
