The Best Triumph Modification | Eliminating Speed Twin Throttle slop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 окт 2019
- In this video I fit spacers in my throttle to eliminate the slop. This should decrease the jerkiness or choppy throttle that many throttle by wire motorcycles suffer from... I'm hoping anyway!

I bought one based on a recommendation by another blogger but haven’t installed yet. Guess I best get on it and do the the install. Enjoying your channel Adam, keep up the good work! Stay safe out there.
I was really skeptical of how transformational this would be; the infamous slack in the throttle is really very tiny. But everyone seemed enthusiastic about this modification and it isn't that expensive, so I bought and installed the spacers. The difference is subtle and mostly I don't notice it, but then there are times when I get on the gas mid-corner and it feels SO MUCH better than it did before. I recommend it.
Awesome, Thanks Adam for the installation guide.
Thanks for the heads up on that I'll make sure to correct that issue when I get my Speed Twin 👍
Thanks for the hint, I did it on mine, easy to fit and a lot of improvement.
Great tutorial, I have already sent off for one of these kits, so should be here soon, I watched the Missenden Flier channel and got the same info, and I see that the idling speed on your bike is not effected, so that was my only concern. Can't wait to fit mine, anyway, keep the vids comin' it's a great channel! cheers, Dave
Cheers dude, just ordered one need the weather to clear up before I fit mine on the old thruxton r
I can't imagine there is any intentional design to this free-play/slop. I came from a Triumph Trident 660 which had zerø. Throttle was either on, or off. No vague in between space. Throttle control was exact and perfect. A month ago I traded to a ST900 and I've been telling myself I could live this for the past 1900 miles. I could but, no I'd rather not, it's a PITA. Slow speed maneuvers, corners etc....is a bit herky-jerky. Salesperson put these on her Scam 900 and said it's a must do mod. I'm going to get these. Thanks for this install vid👌
Great video fantastic bike great mod 🇬🇧👍
Just ordered, definitely looking forward to stop and go traffic improvement.
Best mod done to my speed twin! Throttle spacers should have been fixed during manfacturing.
Simple & effective 👍🏻
i have installed this fix.. Thank you for this video explanation.. my ride is know realy more bether to drive special on low speeds like in the city...
Thanks, just bought my Speed Twin on Saturday and already had this mode ordered. After a few short rides do notice now it has hot engine heat on legs in city driving. Its getting colder her in Tx now but i wonder about summer now..
Will try it too.
I will do it. already order the mod:)
Probably by the time the QC department got to ride it, likely noticed, talked to Engineering department whom went to business head unit and their associated bean counting chief spreadsheet officers and they said how much cost and delay..........nope.
Hi Brother really need your guidance. I m looking to put The handlebar in my Triump speed twin. I have seen that the wire of clutch is little short I wanted your advice can I change the wire with the Triump scrambler 1200 because it has a bigger wire than the Triump speed twin. please advise.
I added these to my speed twin yesterday. I noticed that I have to sometimes manually close the throttle, meaning that if I just let go of the throttle it does not always completely return to closed. Instead, it may return to a position where the idle is about 2000 RPMs instead of 1000. Has anyone else had this issue? Will it break in?
I'll fit the spacers to my 2017 Scrambler 900 tomorrow and let you know...
Hi Adam What brand and bar end mirrors do you have on your Triumph thanks
Better save that old senna!!!
I did mine last week. You should have taken end cap off and slid it off and put some lube under throttle piece.
I watched the Missenden Flyer's video about this and remembered it while on a ride -- honestly while on the bike and wearing gloves, I really couldn't determine whether I had the dreaded 1/32 of an inch of throttle slop. I think if this is the best thing you can do to a motorcycle, that the bike must be essentially perfect.
I only noticed the throttle acting snatchy at low speed making low speed town riding more difficult. Just less control at stop lights etc. Afterward it's like getting a remapped well behaved throttle.
I noticed the throttle issue when I first took a test ride. I'll be doing this.
Adam did you experience any stalling when downshifting to 1st gear coming to a stop? And if so, did this mod help alleviate?
Finally got around to adding the spacers. Amazing improvement. Big confidence boost in town and city traffic.
You should've installed Handle Bar raisers for a very relaxing city commuting 😀
Any recommendations on taller risers?
@@johnpoon8 I installed Rox 2" risers on my Speedtwin. Clutch cable ends up to short. Had to reroute the stock clutch cable on the back side of the forks between the tank and the fork. Put some Gorrilla tape on the tank so it does not scratch it. Will use this until I get a longer Triumph clutch cable.
This is only for digital throttles, right?
Good job on the throttle. Personally I never felt an issue on my speed twin. I have only have one issue with the speed twin, that is it sprays a lot of muck when riding on a rainy day. Know of any after market mud flaps or scrapers which will prevent this ? Anyway thanks a ton for the good content you keep uploading......👍🏻
Thanks! No idea about any mud flaps.... whats rain.... 😜 LoL we only see that one month a year if we are lucky.
Adam Croll 👍🏽😀
Very few modern bikes have even half decent mudguards. Perhaps the designers all live in your State! Seriously though it is a dumb fashion, because that is all it is to have these mini mudguards.
Here in India..we see a few months of rain. The mud spray is a real pain. Looking for a fix myself. I have the throttle issue as well.
@@brahnseer3512 ,personally I think a Full fender for the front and rear would solve that problem. My K4 CB 750 Honda had full fenders on the front and rear the only issue I had was rain hitting me in the face
I never had any issues with my bike and i am kind of interested to know which mode do you usually ride in
Always in Sport mode! Not that it’s a major issue but it did increase the throttle smoothness overall which made it even more of a joy to ride!
Hello Adam . I finally got a speed Twin !! I have noticed that when you accelerate the throttle is a bit sharp. Are those pieces to soften that feeling? Thank you!!
Yeah with these shims it removes the slop therefore making your twist motion of the wrist more precise. And less jarring resulting in a better feel.
@@AdamCroll thanks Adam!!!
I know about the throttle slop along with the rest of the motorbike fraternity, the marketing on this bike is all about the detailing, Triumph has an R&D department that obviously missed this problem or decided to let the customer fix it.
Four other issues, very limited turning circle, Tank with a seam? non-adjustable suspension & the underslung rear brake calliper. Again it's all in the detail. It's not a budget bike but it has some budget parts.
why do you have the rear mirror upside down?
Narrow as possible to make lane splitting easier. That’s how the dealership set it up during prep. Never bothered to change it up.
Hi Adam, where can I get the spacers? Great channel
Ajcyclesny.com
@@AdamCroll has many accessories but the shipping cost for Italy is expensive, I have to look for an alternative in Europe, thanks anyway
I this is interesting, is your bike throttle by wire, or cable?
Throttle by wire!
No explanation of why there are 2 pieces (wouldn't just one be enough?) or a shot of it working, even though you had the whole thing wide open. All I learned is that it's easy to install.
Seems like every 2019 Speed Twin owner is having this problem.
I reversed it on my bike. Useless mod. You need it. Maybe On a Ducati track bike.
There Is a reason for this, it's called safety. Slack is needed for regular road riding.
I would be careful, or actually I wouldn't add this on my bike. Tried the spacer on my Ducati and guess what? One spacer popped off after 900miles, got stuck in the throttle house and blocked the throttle...basically it was stuck and the bike started reving. Thank fully the clutch saved me! Never adding this aftermarket stuff, its literally unsafe. Be careful!
Ali Fard next time put some glue in to keep them in place, problem fixed
American roads are in appalling condition!
