Selected User Reviews For 22mm Twist Throttle Accelerator Handle Grips, 50 90 110 125cc Pit Bike Dirtbike by Lucky Seven (Handle Grip + Cable + Throttle Clamp + flameout switch
If you're looking for a motorized bicycle, this is the one to get. All of the throttles that are supposed to be for motorized bikes have always given me problems, but this one is not only cheaper than any of them, but it's also ten times better. Metal housing is more durable, and the twist on the throttle is smoother; installation is a breeze.
For mounting to standard 7/8" bars, the diameter is too small. To open up the hole, I had to use a dremel tool. Throttle tube fit perfectly; I'm not sure why the grips have a hole at the end; perhaps it's because you like dirt in your throttle tube; I filled it with silicon. br>br>Kill switch is backwards, so it kills the bike when it's in the "on" position. I removed the lettering and will re-install it. lable it. br>br>I didn't want to return it because I needed it for the weekend and didn't want to wait another week. If you don't have the tools or knowledge to fix it in 15 minutes, look for something else to do.
My husband and son were able to repair the bike quickly and for a much lower cost than if we had ordered the part from a shop and had them do it. br> My son is ten years old and is learning to work on his bicycles, while my husband considers himself to be a jack of all trades. So, if these two can do it, I'm confident that anyone can! My son is gaining a lot of knowledge, and my husband enjoys spending time with him while they work on their dirt bikes.
In order for the cable to fit into the twist throttle and allow for adjustment, I had to cut back the outer sheathing. The throttle would have been wide open if I hadn't done that. Yes, the carburetor and twist throttle adjustments were both backed all the way in. The ct110 from 1980 isn't plug-and-play compatible. When you get it, it's just another mod you might or might not want to try.
The twist throttle works fine, but the cable is short and the operation isn't particularly smooth. And the kill switch should be labeled as if it were a light switch rather than a kill switch. When the switch is turned on, the contacts inside are connected, and the coil's ground circuit is completed. It's not that the wiring is backwards; it's just that the labels for the use case described are incorrect. It comes right off with a little brake cleaner sprayed on a rag. In the end, for the price ($22), it's a pretty good deal. Worth it!.
When I hooked it up the way it's supposed to be on was off in the off was on it was backwards, even if I swapped the wires it was still backwards, and on top of that the throttle cable is too small for that carburetor, so it's already revving at high RPMs when you hook it up to the carburetor.
Okay, I believe it was not designed to be used with a motorized bicycle. I tinkered with the design to make it work with the metal twist handle I already had. That twist grip might work fine, but I'm not a fan of the plastic ones, and the design was not appealing to me. I don't know if it's the cat ass for a pit bike, but I can't say I don't have one. If you have a motorized bicycle, get one that looks like the original. Anyway, it's been a year since I've had a kill switch. and-a- I wired the wires to the same colored wires half way to put the kill switch on and I couldn't get the damn thing to start. turns out off is on, on is off, no biggie I left it that way figuring maybe nobody would steal my bike. all you have to do is reverse the wires but it might be right for a pit bike I'm not sure. I gave it four stars because, despite the fact that it was the incorrect application, I was able to make it work.
The cable at the carb end is far too short. When installed, it left my little pit bike pinned at 80% throttle. Before recrimping the sleeve clamp on, I had to remove it and dremel the steel sleeve beneath it to expose more of the cable end. While not difficult, doing so is extremely tedious and inconvenient. (Also, if you make a mistake, you risk damaging your cable, so use caution. ) It worked perfectly after I trimmed it.
