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

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

                      Recomended.

                      Keep it real

                          @Zrako Ever ridden a crosser?

                          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.

                              @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.

                                        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 🤔
