I know it is all electronic, but does anyone know of options for shortening the throttle travel?

On my other bikes I run a Motion Pro throttle with the largest Cam. I like being able to get to WOT quickly, without much turning of the throttle.
 
Only one I know of is the Ducati Corse throttle and it's about $1000 with the adapter for the stock wiring harness.

Or go with the Magnetti-Marelli electronics kit, then you can map the throttle for whatever curve you want. I went the other direction with mine, softened the curve in the first 25% of throttle movement to make it smoother off/on throttle to keep from upsetting the chassis at the apex. Only problem with the Marelli kit is you could buy a 2nd Panigale for the cost of it........
 
Not sure on this one the 1299, the KTM's with can bus have a aftermarket kit that we install that cams quicker (they sell it's as a performance hop up) to the guys who don't understand performance all it does is acelarate the travel geometry. ( in the throttle grip)
The 1299 has a plastic kit for 30 dollars that takes out the slop and thereby reduces the throttle lag.
But you can do this yourself by tapping in a 2mm sect tapper on the throttle cam, but be careful it's a delicate job if you have two left hands.

How much does the corse throttle reduce the travel by and can we order them through you guys?

It looks like to Tuneboy power map will let you do that.



Yup. The throttle still turns the same distance but once you hit 70% it's at 100%

It Works really well. Definitely took some getting used to. If you thought your bike was a wheelie monster before...

^Were you able to fabricate/install a throttle spacer to mechanically stop the grip at 70% angle? I believe I read someone was able to do this on the forum.

*Does anyone know if RapidBike allows modification of the throttle map? I have neither so I'm curious...lol

I m pretty sure you can't do it with rb

Good idea. I'll try it out on Wednesday. I'm sure I'll figure out something.
 
Forgive me if you've already tried, or it's not what you were getting at......

Have you got the slack removal kit installed yet? Makes a big difference if you currently have a stock set up.

Failing that, I've only seen the Ducati quick action throttle.

That isn't what I am after. I want to reduce the overall amount of travel. Too many old sports and boxing injuries, I don't have a ton of flexibility in that wrist. I use an exaggerated screwdriver grip to help, but I still want as little throttle travel as possible.

I actually don't, thanks for that. I will try that first.
 
WOT @70% is 30% reduction in the amount you have to twist the throttle. It won't have a stop, like the MP Revolver set-up but it is the same thing just achieved in a different manner ( electronics vs mechanics).

I'm not sure, haven't used it myself. Being a Corse part it's entirely possible that there are other things required to make it work as well. We are not a Corse retailer, so can't help you there. Try Brian at Boulder Motorsports, he might be able to help.

I gotcha.

Not sure if I would like that though.

It is linear/progressive. Meaning does it build 1%, 2%...........100% like a standard throttle?

Or is it 1%, 2%, till you reach that point and it goes 68%, 69%, 100%?
 
My take from the reading is stock is progressive, that's the first power nap, second power map is linear all the way through, third is linear but reaches full throttle faster.

Should be able to map it to whatever you want it to be. I thought I remember the Corse part only working with the superstock electronics package. Pretty sure that Kope had Moto Rapido come up with a custom solution to make it work with the stock one. Search his build thread on here.

I think this is exactly what you're after but it's a round-a-bout approach which would require some custom modification. (Given, if there aren't currently any "plug-n-play" options which doesn't seem the case.) :(

I took a crude measurement of the throttle grip's range of angle and is roughly 65 degrees. (Please, take my measurement lightly for now, lol.)

I assume TB applies a multiplicative factor (x1.43) to the stock throttle sensor output. If so, it would look like this:
  • Throttle grip angle.......: 0* ---> 16.25* ---> 32.5* ----> 45.5* ----> 65*
  • Stock throttle output....: 0% --> 25% ------> 50% ----> 70% -----> 100%
  • Tuneboy throttle output: 0% --> 35.75% --> 71.5% --> 100% ----> 100%
(*calcs above based on linear curve)

So essentially, Tuneboy would reduce the entire throttle grip opening range by 19.5 degrees. So at 45.5 degrees, you would be at 100% throttle output but....................as Tadashi noted, there is nothing "mechanical" to stop the throttle grip at 45.5 degrees--which is where I suggested creating/fabricating a spacer to physically stop the throttle grip at that position. If this can be done, then you you would have a 65 degree throttle become a 45 degree "quick-turn" throttle. ;)

Since tadashi is already running the throttle map, let's just wait and see if he can come up with a physical throttle stop/spacer for the throttle grip. :D

Let me know what you guys think...
 
Just to add...I get what you're after chaotic, basically a quick turn throttle which is what I also want as well.

But since our panigale is throttle by wire, an aftermarket plug-n-play solution would need to make for us a complete throttle assembly but instead of a larger cam, it would be a revised potentiometer based on the reduced "throw" of the quick-turn throttle grip. I don't think any vender has this other than the noted Corse part, which may require Corse electronics, etc.

So there's the the round-a-bout way I noted above. But yes, I think this is a worthwhile mod for those of us who are "wrist-mobility" challenged. lol :)
 
I'll se what I can do on Wednesday.. I'm hoping I can fab a plastics spacer that will just clip in without any cutting. [emoji106]

Only about 30 bucks off Ebay (link below, this is the one I used). One of the best and cheapest mods out there. Ducati also make this kit at about triple the price for what are essentially two small shims. I guess if you were worried about warranty etc. this would be the way to go. If it's not, then this is all you need, literally a 10 minute job.

It won't cure your issue, but I'm sure it will get you closer to where you want to be :)
