BRG 1/5 throttle install
http://www.brgracing.com/throttle.html

What a PITA! Don't try this without a Dremmel or if you are a beginner. I wasn't sure $30 for a ring of plastic and 2 pages of instructions was worth it, but I guess you're paying for their R&D. Any way, after taking the airbox off, disconnecting the linkage from the throttle bodies, dissassembling and test assembling the throttle many times, and running out of daylight I finally completed the mod. It probably wouldn't have been such an issue for me, but most of my power tools, Dremmel included, were buried in a crate at the back of our garage.

To make the mod work you have to clearance the inside of the throttle housing to allow for the larger diameter cable spool. I tried it with a knife and needle nose pliers first, but after putting the throttle housing back together 3 times and still feeling major drag on the cable I dove in and dug out the dremmel. It works great now. But putting everything back together in the dark while holding a flashlite in your mouth sucks.

But you needed the 1/5 throttle right?

Re: BRG 1/5 throttle install
How about adding epoxy to the channel and readjusting the cables so you have a 1/5 throttle. I bet it would cost less than $5 and still look stock.

Wouldn't work for me.. I'm too impatient. I'd put it back together too early, and end up with a 0 turn throttle.

Great resale value when you're done too.

I'll refrain from my true feelings on this thing.

Better yet I could just pull one plug wire and use 3/4 the gas at full throttle.
