by euro, do you mean euro racing? that's already one of the best aftermarket throttles u can get:vinny337;101992 wrote: Anyone out there, can you provide some inputs on buying a race or after market throttle for a 06 gsxr 600?

Just make sure you check to see what diameter of throttle tube (actually the cam at the end) you have and the R1 has.HondaGalToo;102137 wrote: If you want the cheap way out, you can put an R1 throttle tube on there. I forget what years work, but I found the info on gixxer.com
Yes, it's euro racing...the best works for me. It is black. I'll look into the camssnowbizx;102159 wrote: by euro, do you mean euro racing? that's already one of the best aftermarket throttles u can get:

instead of a silver body, yours is probably black, no? if you want a different ratio, you can probably order the cams separately. (if u didn't already have them)
Sounds good...Thanks JRAJRA;102191 wrote: The R1 tube is supposed to make it a 1/5th turn and the newer R6 is supposed to make it a 1/6th turn. It seems to me that less turn would require more precise throttle control, something most of us are lacking in in the first place.
The Euro throttle is definitely one of the best you can get, and as mentioned it has at least three different cams that come with it. Since that is what you already have I would try the different cams and see if one of those give you what you are looking for. If you want to go back to some kind of OEM set up or the R1/R6 throttle tube you'll have to reinstall the stock right handlebar switch gear. The Euro throttle requires an aftermarket on/off/start switch set up.
Thanks for the input HondaGal... I think I'm leaning towards keeping what I have and possibly play with the cams.HondaGalToo;102137 wrote: If you want the cheap way out, you can put an R1 throttle tube on there. I forget what years work, but I found the info on gixxer.com
Meat thanks!!Meat;102216 wrote: I actually found a website that I could find out the various throttle tube cam sizes by clicking on the part, but I lost it. If anyone knows of that site please let me know. I should have book marked it.
I think the gixxer throttle tube (not sure of years or models) was around 33mm, my 636 was 35mm, the 2004 R1 was 36.5, and the 2006 R6 is 40.5mm, but that is from memory and notes I have on a post-it on my desk.
I have a Riffleman's 1/5 turn throttle insert ($25 delivered) on its way.
I was going to use the PVC method but the Rifleman insert seemed too easy and I know it fits.
But, if I had the money, I would go for the Yoyodyne (euro) throttle. Supposed to be stupid smooth.
Bigkaley, no problem about the pics, your feedback was good enough...Thanks!bigkaley;102237 wrote:

No, not that cheap, LOL. The R1 tube is something like 12 bucks. I wouldn't do that glue thing, but that's just me.AC1108;102147 wrote: Cheap way...
