Step 7: Stationary Idle Testing
With the bike on its side stand or a paddock stand turn the bars all the way left and all the way
right. While doing this, check that the cables are not pulled too tight and that they are routed
properly. Check the throttle operation at full left and right to make sure that it does not drag and
that there is some free play. Without turning the throttle, start the motorcycle. It should start and
idle normally. If the idle is very high, something was not adjusted properly or was not assembled
correctly. Turn off the bike and recheck your work. If the idle is normal, turn the handlebars from
full left to full right. The idle should not change. If the idle rises when the bars are turned, there is
not enough free play in the cables. Readjust the cables to allow more free play and repeat until
the idle is steady no matter where the bars are turned. Then twist the throttle to raise the engine
speed above idle and release the throttle. The engine should return quickly to a normal idle. After
installation of the Revolver throttle and any switches on the handlebar, test the brake lever to
make sure that it has adequate travel without contacting the throttle or switch housing. Some
motorcycles have adjustable span brake levers, that when set at the closest position to
accommodate someone with small hands may contact the throttle or switch housing before full
brake pressure is applied. If this is the case, move or rotate the housing concerned to provide
proper clearance. When testing the motorcycle for the first time, pay close attention to brake
function to make sure they are 100% functional. If there is a problem, do not operate the
motorcycle further until proper brake lever clearance is obtained. WARNING: Failure to install
this kit properly could cause great bodily injury or death.
Step 8: The Test Ride
The best place for a test ride is at a closed course racetrack. Make sure to ride the bike for
sufficient time at low speeds and under no more than moderate acceleration to get a good feel for
the different throttle response before going back to normal use of your motorcycle.
Changing Reels
The Revolver™ throttle is designed so that you can easily change reels of the throttle to adapt to
different riding situations. A fast turning throttle can be used for high-speed tracks and a slower
turning throttle for more technical riding where greater control of the throttle is necessary. To
change reels, all that is necessary is to remove the throttle housing, unhook the cables from the
throttle reel and remove the reel from the tube and replace it with the size desired. Assembly is
the reverse. A slight cable adjustment might be necessary.
Maintaining the Revolver™ Throttle
There is not much to maintain on the Revolver™ throttle, but like all of your controls, it will benefit
from some attention occasionally. Before each ride, you should do a quick cable check to make
sure cable slack is correct and the throttle always snaps back quickly. Once or twice a year the
throttle should be disassembled, cleaned and relubricated, including relubricating the cables.
Give the cables and throttle a visual inspection for any wear, cracks or other signs of wear or
damage. Always immediately replace any component that is worn.
