Sorry, first VTR - Flow commander? Was thinking power commander.

Well Jamie, I guess you wouldn't want to ride my VTR then as my light flywheel, 2-1 exhaust, long intake runners, Yosh cams and all make it VERY sensitive to throttle input, lol Needless to say, I have developed some very fine motor skills :)

Here's my perspective on it: you have had to make a lot of adjustments and changes in your riding, for what? What benefit? Sure, I think the 1/4 turn throttles are great for the track where repositioning your wrist is bad and you never really use anything besides OFF-ON anyway. For the street I do not think there is anything to gain, that's why mine hit the crap-can so quickly. Others have had the same experience, so maybe I'm not crazy (yet).

Hi again,

I am happy with mine. It has just taught me finer throttle control, a positive in my book. I have never had any "situations" arise as a result so it's staying for me. Therein lies the beauty of living in a free society.

cheers

Does anybody know what the parts numbers are for this kit?

That kit is for the RC51, is it the same?

it'll work for the VTR, if that's what you're asking.
