Throttle tube replacement
06/28/15 at 23:33:33

I've been looking to get a new/extra throttle tube as I want to experiment with a different handle bar on my bike and I really doubt I can get off the grip that is currently mounted. (Made of metal and seems to be very tight )

Looking for spareparts for the savage it seems, from the drawings, like I have to order a complete grip with a built-in throttle tube, which is not what I'm looking for. Number 1 on this picture: http://images.imagessite.com/OEM_IMAGES/suzuki_mc_images/S86LS65027.gif

I want to get only the throttle tube, so I can mount whatever rubber grip I may eventually find on ebay. Something like this, only I have no idea whether it fits and how I can find out if it fits:

Any ideas?

I'd just go to a wrecker and see what they have.

That's weird...not sure what kind of grip you have on it but I just replaced my stock ones...the plastic end cap popped off with some effort and then I used compressed air to loosen the grip and slide it off the throttle tube...
I went with the Biltwell grips like these...

Those are what I use as well. Excellent hand feel, the checkering and palm swell make a new bike out of the Savage.

Throttle tube by itself? Piece of cake... ANY 1" throttle sleeve is fine. Single or dual pull. Any dealership will have them.

Really... really, really?? If that's the case, I'll just go ahead and order one... Cheesy

Reason I want the sleeve only is that I want to keep the grips on my current setup, in case I want to go back to them.
Therefore I'd prefer to get a new sleeve I can use for a different set of grips for a drag style handlebar I have made.

For anyone who likes to be "lazy" (cheap?); I took my stock throttle sleeve/tube and used a razor blade to carve away at the grooves/lips. All the way /up/ to the neck, where the cable itself attaches. Time consuming, tiring, and frustrating, but it was faster than ordering a new sleeve for myself. It fit more than snug into my Kuryakyn Black ISO grips. No adhesive required. They're super snug, but still easily (enough) removed.

I've used ones from Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki, Harley Davidson (current, $5 from the independent chopper shop junk bin), Motion Pro, Barnett, J&P Cycles (plastic and die cast), Emgo and others on my 2 Savages and my wife's 800 Intruder.

Good to hear... I'll just get one off of ebay or someplace equivalent and see how it goes. Thanks
