Throttle Modification For Nomad,Vaquero, Voyager
I wanted to give everyone my opinion on my recent mod done to my Nomad. I recently went to Racnrays shop to meet him and have him perform the same modification to my throttle that he has done to his Vaquero.
I have to say this was money well spent. First my skoot now has no lag/delay when you hit the throttle off the line. This also holds true when cruising at low rpms. It got rid the sloppy throttle response I was having. Now it is crisp the way it should have been from the factory. No more delay. Now there was another benefit to having this done as well. I was experiencing the throttle to be jerky on decel and then lightly giving it some gas while cruising on the streets. This is no longer there! This was a pleasant surprise to me. This alone was worth doing the mod. The mod will work with stock grips and my Kuryakan Iso Grips. This was one of reasons I went down to him so he could test them and make sure it would fit. I have to say he has a nice clean and professional shop and his tech Mark (I hope I got his name right) was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. So if anyone is interested in getting this done to there bikes I would highly recommend doing it. I believe you can PM him about this. This is the link to my thread on the other forum. I believe he has joined our forum here, now that I have told him about it.

I assume this modification applies only to the 1700 models with "throttle by wire"?

I believe so. But I think it was mentioned that it may work on the 1600. Just not 100% sure.

THANX captj3 for your impression of my mod. This mod really benifits the 1700's due to the fly-by-wire system and Kawi's throttle plate opening delay programmed into the ECU. Your skoot is a prime example of how a small mod like this can make a big difference in rel world operation, response and performance.
Thanx for you input, it is MUCH appreciated. RACNRAY

I didn't say there was a problem. I just thought someone had mentioned it would work if needed. It is made for all the 1700's.

South Florida is a bit far for me. Otherwise I would consider having you check mine.

CaptnJ or RacnRay, is this a mod you can share with us that we could do ourselves to our 1700's or do you have a link explaining it?

This modification adds an additional 30 HP that the ECU holds back because of smog regulations!! IYBTYG...
