À quoi sert une poignée à tirage rapide sur une moto ? - LE PRATIQUE DU MOTARD

A slow motorcycle has no advantage. Yes, if you take your motorbike, it's to take turns, accelerate and get lost in the wind. It's to feel free and take curves quickly. Acceleration may stall or be slower. In this case, we engage better acceleration with a quick pull of the handle.


Saving time when accelerating with a quick draw


A quick-pull handle will save you time when accelerating. Indeed, with a standard handle, you have to turn for a long time before being fully gassed. With a quick draw, it takes much less time. This means that with less wrist rotation, your motorcycle will accelerate faster.


To go faster, especially when riding a circuit or motocross , it is better to drop the original accelerator. The quick pull handle will allow you to enjoy the performance of your engine much faster. On the other hand, you will have to dose the gases more carefully because the bike will be much livelier. This is not the kind of equipment you install on your motorcycle when you only ride around town!

acceleration with a quick pull handle


Comfort in using your motorcycle


The normal pull of a throttle cable involves three turns. You have to turn around the axis of the handlebars, which includes the accelerator. The ring may be more or less sensitive, depending on the brand and model. Sometimes, bikers increase this ring so that the axis of rotation is more imposing. It will be easier to handle and you will be able to go faster.


A conventional throttle works this way. The motor joints are connected by a cable. When he is awake, the mechanics run faster. A quick-pull handle does not require this sleight of hand to operate the impeller. It's as if everything was more automated, which provides real comfort of use.


A quick adjustment


With a quick draw system , the adjustment of the mechanics is faster. In fact, the motor does not need to be pulled forcibly. It answers the call directly as soon as the handle is pressed.
When purchasing, you should know which grip reference is suitable for your motorcycle. It will be different depending on the brand: Peugeot, Yamaha, Mbk , etc. The model is also a criterion of choice as is the quality. Tip: order online for fast shipping.


Install a quick draw on a handle


It is easy to change your original gas handle. You can even set up a quick draw at home. The goal is to replace the original throttle handle with a new quick draw handle. It's necessary :

  1. removing the rubber handle: remove it from the gas handle by slightly heating the glue;
  2. dismantling the accelerator switch: undo the cable screw and remove it. Then remove the commodo and pull the gas handle;
  3. gluing: put a little neoprene glue to attach the rubber handle and the hard plastic one afterwards.

Handle installation ends here. Additional settings will ensure usage. With a pulling kit, you should have all the necessary materials and details of each step. You may need to purchase a throttle cable as well in case you fail to replace it.


The last settings


First, if glue doesn't work, you can attach them with wire. Wind it up so that the throttle grip no longer moves. Next comes the guard adjustment . It must be only a few millimeters to guarantee responsiveness to acceleration. Unscrew the two nuts on the sheath and turn the second to adjust the tension.

A few tests to finish . This is mandatory, because the use of the handle and your safety are at stake. So, turn the handlebars several times to check the tension and acceleration. It can work on its own if the assembly is not correct. Please note, you must wait 24 hours after installation before you can ride your motorcycle again.

You will feel the difference at the first acceleration!
