Motion Pro Revolver Push Pull Throttle Kit - Manual (Page 2)

How the Revolver™ throttle works
The Revolver™ throttle has several different size reels that will change how much twist is
necessary for the throttle to completely open the carbs or throttle bodies on a motorcycle. The
larger the reel is, the shorter the twist will be. Each reel size will shorten the twist by about 9
degrees. If your stock throttle has a 40 mm reel and stock twist is 90 degrees (1/4 turn), the
45mm reel will reduce the twist to 81 degrees and the 50mm reel will reduce it to 72 degrees. The
35mm reel will increase the throttle twist to approximately 99 degrees. This is just an example;
every model of motorcycle is different.
Installing the Revolver™ Throttle Kit
Step 1: Removing the stock throttle and cables
Consult your factory service manual for disassembly procedures for your particular motorcycle.
On most bikes, it will be necessary to remove the seat, tank and airbox to access the throttle
cables on the carbs or the throttle bodies. Some bikes will require additional disassembly. Once
you are able to access the cables on the carbs or the throttle bodies, remove the bar end on the
throttle side (if there is one), disassemble the throttle housing on the handlebar and remove the
housing, the stock throttle tube and the cables. Keep the stock throttle tube handy for use later in
the installation. Make note of how the stock throttle cables are routed and then remove the stock
cables from the carbs or throttle bodies.
Step 2: Installing the Revolver™ Kit Cables
Before installing the new cables, use a cable luber
and high quality cable lube (Motion Pro Cable Lube
part # 15-0002 and Cable Luber part # 08-0182).
The cables are not lubed at the factory, so this is an
important step for best feel and cable life. Install the
Revolver™ cables using the same routing as stock
and connect them to the carbs or throttle bodies.
Make sure that the pull cable is attached to the pull
side of the throttle bodies or carbs and the return
cable to the return side. If you reverse them, the
throttle will operate backwards. Do not tighten the
adjusters all the way on the cable mounts at this
time.
Step 3: Installing the Revolver™ Throttle
Take the stock throttle tube and measure the
diameter of the stock reel. Refer to the illustration for
the proper method to measure the diameter of the
tube. With this measurement, if you want to have a
faster turning throttle, select the closest but larger
size Revolver™ throttle reel and install it on the
Revolver™ throttle tube.
WARNING: Always select the closest size first. NEVER install the largest reel right away. Making a
major change in how your throttle operates could result in loss of control of your bike and serious
injury or death. Always work one size at a time and ride the bike long enough to get used to how the
throttle operates before making another change.
