Haha as title says , complete rebuild time is here. Im stripped the bike down so far counting and thinking what where and how much etc. Researching new ideas. So far Im decided to powdercoat frame , get yz usd forks and swingarm , rebore barrel + new piston and con rod , inspect the crash of bottom end(hopely only bearings) , new clutch , new full exhaust, rework the connectors and wire harness...
Will warmly welcome new ideas and comments , -

What do you guys think about quick action throttles? Found it on ebay randomly chasing parts.

I know nev fitted one to his dtr. But I know his would have been a nice one.
It is not about us, it's about your project.

I run a YZ 250 throttle with a billet alloy throttle tube, so much nicer...
Recomended.

Effectively you are only pulling the throttle a quarter turn before full chat.
So you lose control of the throttle slider, but you are quicker to go Wipe Open Throttle.
You would probably want spot on jetting, else risk bogging down.

@Calum never rided motocross bike ,so with this Im loosing a lot I think , its not really for the cruising and for the traffic as lot of sensitivity will compress in the 1/4 turn ?
wrote on 17 Mar 2017, 15:23 last edited by@Zrako It's not really an issue, but the original throttle is there to ease the power on and make it easier to just poot around with traffic for the novice rider. It wouldn't take long before you forgot how it was originally and got used to the quick throttle.

Yz one is not wide enough. Tried this myself 2 weeks ago and gave up on that idea

Anything is possible. No it's not a direct fit, but if it were then every joey would have done it.
The only reason I didn't do it, was because I spent many many nights lining up my supermoto wheels with my current setup, changing the arm, whilst trivial, would have undone all that work.

At first Im spotted the 2 problems I need to deal with : 1st - the linkage fitment is different
2nd - the brake bracket .
Wondering if the yz bracket will fit my caliper and line up properly with the disc -
