[BanditGville]

Hey everyone here is a how to for anyone wanting to do this who is hesitant because they do not want to mess anything up.
It is very simple and now its even more simple. Enjoy.

Locate throttle, remove bar end.

Slide the rubber boot off the end.

Use a 4mm Allen loosen two mounting screws.

Both screws loosen

Remove Upper cover

Remove Lower cover

Remove Top cable

Remove lower cable

Slide off old and on NEW

Now spin the throttle upside down and install the lower cable first.

Rotate throttle FORWARD

Attach upper cable

This washer (Comes installed) Goes to the OUTSIDE of the housing. It WILL bind up and not work.

Lower cover installed hold it up with hand as shown

Upper cover installed

Use 4mm again to tighten screws

Tighten both screws, "Tight is tight, and too tight is broke." Dont go too tight folks!!

Locate Throttle cables and slide rubber cover off Adjusters

Get you a 8mm Wrench + Small crescent wrench. You will need two(2) tools.

Break loose the locking nut, shown here already loosen.

Tighten this barrel adjuster to add 1mm of "play" in your throttle when you twist it.

Lock them together like so....

Slide rubber cover back over. DONE
Go ride and you will love your life choice.

Well thanks very much, literally picked up my replacement throttle from LBS today, I look forward to installing it this weekend with the help of your very useful guide

Nice writeup. I think the hardest part to the whole thing is if you wanted matching grips and needed to take the old grip off the old tube. What a pain that was. Palm was sore after that fiasco.

Yeah i looked at them and they looked so close i just said F it. Nobody will ever see it when my glove is covering it.

I changed my grips when I changed the tube. Used a small/thin flat head screwdriver to break the glue and an air compressor. Worked like a charm.

First ride today with the r6 throttle and have to say was initially concerned that it would be harsh and snatchy,
Couldn't have been more wrong, pound for pound or dollar for dollar this has to be the best mod for the fz8!

What benefits does the r6 cable have
