"Yamaha" Throttle Lever Install on Viper

[hibshman25]

When does the pro-mo start?

While not officially fall yet, I sure feels like it this morning here in PA. Pro-mo is active now. Will run through month of September for now.

Ordered with the relocate promo

Me too. Cant wait to try the throttle and warm thumb will be nice. Mine was weird. Sometimes put out great heat others nothing. Didnt seem to matter rpm or anything. I think the long reach of stock lever made throttle feel harder than it was. I inspected the spring on Nytro and sure measured same as Viper so now our throttles should feel same!

Just checking. I ordered throttle kit but have not received it or any notification. Could you check please

Plug and play adapters have not arrived yet. You will receive email with tracking once we ship. Sorry for the delay!

 

[Nytrosnox]

That was a fast response. Lol thanks!

Got a handful of of adapters in mail from rock yesterday. He has not done a full production run yet. Shipped 6 kits out to the first 6 that ordered. You should see them by end of week.

I was just with Rock on Saturday at hay days had I known he was the hold up I would have kicked him in the shins

He did have a great deal on HID headlight kits cant wait to get the 15 XTX back from Ulmer to put them in!

 

[staggs65]

Cool. Hopefully I was one of the first 6

 

[Yamadog]

got my notification yesterday been shipped!! Which really I should have emailed you I loaded my vipers into Allen Ulmer's trailer at hay days and with everything he is doing won't have them back for a while, you could have filled someone else's order. SORRY

But on the upside maybe some chips soon!!!

Looks like I'm one of your first 6. Thank you for all the work you put into this! I'll be out of town through Monday, but will report back when I have an opportunity to check it out.

 

[hibshman25]

Cool. Hopefully I was one of the first 6

You were! Wasn't sure if you wanted fan reverse harness so I sent plug loose. contact me if you have any questions.

Got mine yesterday!!! wish the sled was here so I could install it and feel like I am back on a true Yamaha

 

[cannondale27]

Got mine today. Can't wait! The lever just looks right. Got to be more comfortable. Thank You

Got it on. Definitely like the feel. Still a stiff throttle compared to featherweight Phazer but I think the improved ergos will make it easier on hand. I would like to see both wires either 2 in longer for stem mounting or a foot longer for running it way down by other cluster of wires. That said this is a Great idea!

Haven't seen instructions so here goes.
Tools:
Needle nose pliers
10&8mm open end wrenches
T15 Torq driver or cheapo in tool kit
T8 Torq driver or bit
Sidecutter

Push stock lever to bars. Hold cable with needle nose. Remove cable from lever.
Using sidecutter or maybe a screwdriver pry the sheet metal clip off the lever pin. It's a bugger. Normally not reused. Then remove pin and collar.
Remove all 4 T15 screws. You need a screwdriver type or cheapo in kit since bit drivers will not fit in hole. Be sure it's fully seated or you will strip these.
Now it's apart. Look very carefully how all those little wires and plugs are in there so you can put them back same. You will need to remove the white L shaped hold down which has a T8 screw.
Push the tab on plug for stock thumbwarmer and disconnect. It will fit through the slot in housing barely so remove the wire and plug to stock warmer.
I ran the adapter end which plugs into the stock harness into the throttle housing at stem side where all the rest of wires come in. Putting plug right where it was under that white L shaped retainer. Be careful with all these tiny cheap wires and plugs in there. They are very fragile.
Position and screw housing back together using T15.
Install Yamaha Throttle lever. It uses a nice snapring.
ADJUST YOUR THROTTLE FREEPLAY!!!
I did it at the adjuster on stem under the rubber. Use the 8 and 10mm. I use a credit card for a guage with slight pressure on lever card should slide through at closest point between lever and housing.

When you route the adapter and warmer wires make sure there is play at throttle since when throttle is pushed it pulls the wire. Here is how I did mine. Notice zip tie goes through tang on plug. Not on the bare wires.

Remember the zip tie on cable adjuster is NOT tight. Leave it loose so cable can move.

The Phazer pad doesn't cover everything now but still looks better to me than stocker plastic which does still fit and covers it all. Will probably use some electrical tape on the white plug for looks. But here it is.

THANKS BARN OF PARTS TRAVIS!!
