hrmad Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) The gearing worked out well at 11/44, second and third gear are nice for hill climbs. I'll leave the throttle as a slow throttle for now, I spend enough time crashing and loosing grip as it is. Although the thought of trying a fast one out is still nagging at me! Thanks guys Edited January 23, 2015 by hrmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betabonkers Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I can't use a slow action, fast all the way ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the addict Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Heather 11/44 is pretty much the same ratio as 10/41, going to a 9 is way to low though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think you can just buy the tube for the throttle, no need to buy the whole assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I've gone full circle back to where I was at the start. 10/44 was too slow so I just put the 11 back on, rather than remove the rear sprocket. I suppose at least i've got a spare set of 10/41 when the current set wears down or I sell the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the addict Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I'd need a new throttle cable too? Don't think so, just the tube, about a tenner Edited January 23, 2015 by the addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrmad Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 It would be more comfortable in hill climbs to use less wrist movement, or getting up short steep banks... I suppose it's cheap enough to try out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betabonkers Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Don't need a cable, just get a white tube. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrmad Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I've gone and bought one, mind changes direction like the wind! When it's fitted I'll post how I get on, thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 At first you'll be timid. Then you'll get used to it. Then you'll scare yourself a few times. Then you'll realize you depend on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 on my trusty old 240 pro I use a slow tube , as my bike the way it is ported , responds like a MX bike . On my Section I have a quick tube , as it has much more and smother power all over . And mind you both bikes are geared way low , I very rarely use first gear ... and both will chuggle along at serious low revs ... but it all gets down to what your comfortable with !

hrmad Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks Glenn. Fitted the quick action throttle this morning. Had a go on it going slow and it's fine, better in some ways cause I didn't stall the engine as much as I usually do- easier to keep revs up if that makes sense. The real acid test will be going up hills, I'm going to a practice day on Saturday so should give it a full work out. Feels better so far Just trying to get some new grips on now, like trying to wash a cat! Edited January 28, 2015 by hrmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrmad Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 went to a local training day today. Throttle was fine, no complaints. None of my crashes involved using too much throttle, haha. I was told my bike is too fast again, and to go to a 9/52. I kept stalling in first gear all the time, she'd even stall with the clutch all the way in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
