Play in throttle

MJW · Mar 7, 2020

Out today, first time in two months, bike felt like it wanted to stall when pulling away and loads of play in the throttle. Talked to Ducati mechanics little while ago about fitting a spacer, they said don’t as it will be very jerky on the UK roads. Anyone had the same feeling of stalling and play in throttle?

Ive got spacers fitted to mine and there is no real jerkiness, I'm a UK rider in London, if you are easy on the throttle in town all is good

Since you are in Europe, I think this is a better solution. I ordered the Ducati Throttle Spacer kit, then I found out later about this whole assembly from CNC racing, so I decided to not install the spacer kit and waiting for this Throttle Control Tube from CNC Racing to arrive (ordered it from Europe). Make sure you purchase the "SPORT" version because CNC Racing also have the "regular" version.

Throttle control tube RBW DUCATI - SPORT from CNC Racing:

Throttle tube version SPORT designed to eliminate the slop/play of the throttle control.
Machined from solid and made of special plastic material, it allows the installation of our handgrips on motorcycles equipped with Ride by Wire electronic control.
We recommend installation at a specialized workshop.

I have a spacer fitted and its no problem at all on UK roads. Cornerspeed in UK sells them. Easy to fit.

There are no rideability isues that result from removing the throttle play. In my opinion, it results in better throttle control when on/off the throttle, not less.
