Yup..they stay the same..larger hole grip goes on throttle and smaller goes on opposite.. Funny enough..I've seen people mess that up and had to wrap wire around a loose ass grip on their throttle..sketch lol

Was thinking same thing...held them up next to each other and the difference was minuscule...I got the white one (not sure about the twist) was slightly smaller..test rode it..worlds of difference...I would say get the white one...it's more of a free play eliminator and wrist saver..of course you get to WOT a hell of a lot quicker too

Good, because I already ordered one last night. I'll just take the grip off and put the heated grip on it.

****ing love it.....put about 400 miles on since..wrist hurts but hurts a lot less...I like to hit the twistys..lots of throttling..should have done this first!
The real way to fix the throttle response is with the reflash. Most if not all of the effect people are feeling from this R6 tube is an illusion because the real throttle response is handled by the electrically-controlled butterflies, off the throttle position sensor. What this means really is that no matter how fast you yank open the throttle, the secondaries are controlling the response, period.
The Guhls reflash totally changes how quickly the secondaries open up; they are much more aggressive on opening, along with all speed and ignition timing restrictions being removed. And believe me you do NOT want a 1/6-turn throttle on this bike if you reflash it, it is a rocketship.
Yes I know it's $300 but forget every other mod, if you want the bike to run like it should, smooth, powerful, responsive, do the reflash and save all that money that you'd spend on pipes, headers, etc.
Just sayin'.

I personally did it to get rid of all the free play and to not have to turn the throttle so far to hit wot....I don't see how a retune can physically shorten a throw...
Imagine a nice souped up bike with headers pipe all that good stuff....AND THEN tune it......
I've ridden gsxrs...r models and ninjas...I doubt it will make it crazier than these...but I do believe it will put us in somewhat of the same class
Don't buy this number Yamaha 5SL262400100 Grip Assembly
its the same as factory so who ever put them numbers up was wrong but with that said I modified it to make it a 1/4 turn.

Just plain crazy...
Now that's interesting.... Can you show us? Or walk us through it.
Guys it's been about 4 weeks since I've done the R6 Throttle "tub" and I just wanted to share some of my insights.
As much as I like ripping the road a new one with the shorter throttle WOT, I find the bike suffers from jerky low-speed modulation. It's great up top, but having the reduced amount of throttle control makes it slightly more difficult to control in low speed situations like in parking lots.
Makes sense right? Since having the OEM throttle makes smaller adjustments to throttle easier.
With that, since 90% of my riding is around town I went ahead and swapped the OEM throttle control back on.

This is exactly what I'm worried about. I have an R6 tube ready to go on along with heated grips, but if I don't like it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get the heated grips off to swap it back.
If you wanna try it out without the grips first (to see if you like it), I'm happy to send you my R6 tube to try for a little while, it's just sitting there.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm just going to put it on and see. I want to have my bike ready this weekend for spring.

I've put about 1k on my bike since I did the swap and haven't seemed to have any issues with the low speed, I personally feel it has relieved some of the choppy on off acceleration it had before and mostly the annoying slack
. just curious where ya get a 1/8th turn from would love to get one of those ,
