Definetly saves some $$ over yamaha. If you dont have one to match up try www.sudco.com. Hopefully that will help. Quote

Thanks for the reply I'll keep looking, I do have one can't find the other one, yeah yahmy will probably want a shit load LOL Quote
tnr Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 I had to get a new spring for my idle screw. Took the spring I had, went to parkrose hardware and found a perfect match. The spring only cost me $0.79. That was a hell of alot better than the 5 something the bike shop wanted. Just make sure you get the same alloy as the slide spring, which I would imagine is stainless. Not sure... Quote

Youe thumb will appreciate it. Just make sure you have a tether on your bike!!! haha Quote

gregrob Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Mine are cut down about 3 1/2 coils. Helped a lot with the stiffness of the stock thumb throttle. I HATED it before, now it's actually bareable. Go for it!!! Quote
