Quick Turn Throttles for Kawasaki
The G2 Quick Turn Throttle tube for Kawasaki increases throttle response by decreasing throttle rotation (less turn). This throttle is extremely popular for 250F racers and very aggressive 450 racers.
Less throttle turn keeps your elbows high and in a proper “attack” position! This is the EXACT throttle ratio used by the TiLUBE Honda team in Arenacross and Supercross, and Cody Barnes on the Phoenix Honda GNCC Factory Team! It is also an effective solution for riders with limited wrist mobility.
The Quick Turn Throttle Tube for Kawasaki consists of the ultra-smooth G2 tube with Delrin inserts designed with a throttle pulley approximately 10% larger than stock (or more for certain models). This translates into about 10 degrees less “twist” necessary to reach wide open. To put this into perspective, a 3% change is noticeable, so a 10% increase is a significant difference!
Can I get by with a throttle tube or do I need a complete Throttle System?
Many Kawasaki models have extra inner clearance inside the stock throttle housing, or controller. For these models, we can offer a quicker pull by simply increasing the size of the throttle tube’s pulley. In this case, simply installing our Quick Turn Throttle Tube into your stock throttle housing works great!
Unfortunately, some models do not have this extra inner clearance. For this reason the only quicker option is to replace the entire throttle housing, and for some models a G2 conversion cable is needed. Regardless, all necessary throttle parts (except the grip – sold separately) are included to give you the rate of quickness you select!
Quick Turn Throttle Tube for Kawasaki can improve your riding in several ways:
- Your bike’s power characteristics will seem far more quick – as you turn the throttle, your bike will rev faster than before.
- Less overall turn is required to reach full throttle. This is a huge benefit to riders with limited wrist mobility.
- Less turn allows you to more easily stay in the proper riding position. You will notice less elbow drop as you turn the throttle.
Are Delrin bushings better than ball bearings?
Standard ball bearing type throttle tubes seem like a great idea. Once installed and you’re twisting the throttle (with the bike on a stand and the engine off) it sure feels sweet! But give it a “real world test”. While you’re sitting on the bike, push down on the grip as you turn. You will immediately feel the aluminum tube contact the handlebar.
With G2 Throttles, the Delrin bushings prevent this completely! Push down all you want! In addition, ball bearings require constant maintenance (unlike our ball bearing product called the Jimmy Twister), or the bearing will rust and seize up. Not so with a G2 throttle tube with Delrin bushings!
In addition, the Quick Turn Throttle Tube for Kawasaki includes a Delrin Friction Plate, which looks like a thin, black washer. This is slid onto the handlebar before the throttle tube and inside of the throttle housing. This stops aluminum-on-aluminum contact for a smooth, precise feel even while pushing inward!
Using handguards? No problem with the G2 Throttle Tamer Tube for Kawasaki! The end cap is removeable (see above pic) and allows easy handguard installation. The knurled area provides solid grip adhesion. Just put on a good quality grip (we highly recommend Domino Grips) and you’re good to go!
