Restrictor

[No73]

Hi Lizard555

I read the original post and the comments (gentlemen not everyone is a speed freak) my view on it is I jumped on my GTR and hated the throttle and still do
its too twitchy at low speeds, Yes they are a fast bike  160 + on trip across Europe full -  luggage backed off then cos im old and slow.

It sounds like you have lost a bit of confidence (which a snatchy throttle does not help) smoothness builds confidence which builds pace, so ride it a lot at a pace you feel happy at and you will soon get used to it

well that's my pennys worth

thanks No73, yes indeed, I jumped from a small engine to too big unfortunately, I am having the tamer installed today, I heared a lot of good reviews addressing the exact thing I am having problem with. Yes, driving slowly and getting used to it. It is not that bad eventually. Thank you for your comment. Enjoy the ride!

Familiarity gained by riding your GTR will  help you to feel more comfortable with it Lizard

Thank you Guys!

I decided to try my bike after a throttle tamer has been fitted. (bought on www.aviciouscycle.ca)

If it is sufficient, I will leave it at that, if not, I will continue my search. Thank you for the tips!

So the tamer works quite well. It is not an ideal, but it feels less snappy.

Hi Lizard mate - I have a French one (106 HP) and frankly it's still awesome.

The restriction seems to be more 'clever' than those that I have previously tried and so most of the torque seems to have been kept.  The only reason that I'm not perfectly happy with it is that it cost the same price as a normal one... Pesky French.....................
