Re: ZRX Alternator Chain Tensioner Fix
The only problem with the Kwick throttle is that the heated grips don't fit over it and you have to machine it down to get them to fit.

Re: ZRX Alternator Chain Tensioner Fix
I had to take all of the knurling off and then about another mm off the diameter. I didn't have a lathe so it was a PITA, but if you know someone who can machine it down a smidgen, it will make things a lot easier.Phil wrote:Any idea how much you need to take off?Nelso wrote:The only problem with the Kwick throttle is that the heated grips don't fit over it and you have to machine it down to get them to fit.
