I had seen this on MXTrax.

6 years ago I really busted myself up from a stuck throttle on my YZ125. 4 corners to go in a 2 hour off road race disaster struck. My injuries had me closer to death than I will ever talk about around my wife.
But bones heal and chicks dig scars so I'm nearly ready to start the sillyness of dirtbike riding again.

I bought one of these Roll On Throttle 2 stroke throttles for my vintage 125. I ride with my elbows too low. I'd rather change the bike than change me. It definatly has a shorter turn, but for how big the barrel is where the cable rides I thought it would be an on/off light switch.
It's made lighter than I'd like. But if it works i have nothing to complain about

I really like that VenHill throttle. Never seen one of those before

Standard YZ from 83 onwards are available (in parts) from Yamaha. Tidy unit, easy to get spare tubes, side pull, sano appearance and cheap. YZ80 and IT175,200,250,490 for 1/4 turn action and YZ125 Up for a more progressive ratio. They usually sell on Ebay complete for about $20 used, get a new tube in plastic or billet if you prefer for another $20 odd and you have a reliable throttle solution for most applications.

Option options

The throttle tube and Housing sizes are different for the 1/4 turn and 1/2 ish turn styles, so make sure you get all the components to match the assembly you desire. Look the same but are not, so a bigger YZ tube will not work with the smaller YZ80 and IT style unit.
Political correctness is a doctrine,fostered by journalists and politicians, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
