675 Snatch

Hopefully you haven't clicked this thread looking for something more risque!

I finally got the papers back for my Street today and took it out for a quick blast. I've read about the snatchy throttle response but crumbs, it's unbearable. And this is coming from a bloke who also owns a 5th gen. VFR!!

I watched a YT video of a dude using some 30-quid tiny plastic parts to remove the free play. The alternative, so I've read, is getting the throttle grip from a 1050 speed.

So I wondered whether new original Triumph grips have been improved to take out the play or if the grips from any other model, namely the Street Twin might also work? I've found someone selling a new pair so if they'd fit, I'll buy 'em.

Really spoils what is otherwise a nice little bike.

 

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind, always."

I only want a smoother throttle action and that makes me a pussy? Fine with me.

Anyway, what's a chadda? Do you mean the pair valve removal?

 

Oh, that was humour? Well, as long as you found it funny, that's alright then.

Just googled chadda and I did guess it right. I'm waiting for a new air filter to be delivered so will finally do those mods when I fit it.
