Venhill quick action throttles

Some people were born unlucky though

Put it this way...

I have removed and stripped choccys R6 carbs.. there right next to me next to the computer,  the fact you can hardly hold the throttle open due to the return springs..

guess how many return springs there are closing the throttle butterfly?

1?
2?

there is 7 in total so to have every one of them break... well lets just say, its highly improbable

Where are the 7 return springs Paul, I can't recollect there being that many ?

1, Main return spring at tick over adjuster (right big bugger on the right hand side of the picture)
2, between carb 1 and 2
2, between carb 2 and 3
2, between carb 3 and 4

thats before I look at the cable end just in case there is 1 there or if there is a small retern spring in the throttle position sensor

never actually noticed all the springs there Paul, thought there was only one between each carb, it does seem a bit ott doesn't it.

thats why Im sending them to Seton tuning... I know once I strip them fookers, them springs going to go the opposit sides of the workshop, never to be found again 

and there doing a fueling mod on them

Has anyone got a link to a venhill quick action throttle kit suitable for a 2001 r6? cheers

[Sheepy]

contact Seton tuning direct,  charlie will sort something for you

Just bought a Venhill QA from Venhill. Would've been nice to let Phil Seton sort the fitting but waaaaay too far away from me to take the bike down.
TBH, anyone with a degree of mechanical skill could fit the kit, which is BTW,

very nice indeed

the fitting is relatively easy,it's more just a pain getting the nipples into the throttle body as it's a really awkward to get your fingers down there (stubbie fingers i have  )

[Sheepy]

I rate mine, I also cheated as I threaded the cable upto the twist grip and put the solderless nipple in that side,  made life easy as long as you trim cable off at the nipple
