Any recommendations?
I see the new KTM RC8R comes with 2x throttle tubes, one for track and one for road. The track is round, the road is oval or ovoid.
Any easy methods to acheive faster throttle application and less turning needed, like using a dirt bike tube?
How do you keep the original switch block?
I have trouble getting my wrist twisted around enough to get 100% throttle (I usually 'door knob' the throttle).

Most people who i know with a gsxr do the R1 throttle mod. A cheap and easy mod that give you a 1/5 turn throttle.

I'm guessing the circumference of the actuator on the R1s twist grip is larger. The larger the circumference less distance the grip needs to move to pull the cable a set distance thus opening the throttle butterflies .
