FAQs

Is this throttle sleeve a universal fit?

No, the Raceline Throttle Sleeve (THR.SLEEVE 3) is designed as a specific replacement part for certain Honda and KTM models. Please check the compatibility list before purchasing.

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, you will need basic hand tools such as screwdrivers or Allen wrenches to disconnect and reconnect the throttle cables, and potentially a utility knife to remove the old grip.

How long should the installation take?

For experienced users, installation can take as little as 15-30 minutes. For those less familiar, it might take slightly longer, but it is generally a straightforward process.

Can I use my existing throttle grips with this sleeve?

What is the manufacturer part number?

Does this come with throttle cables?

No, this product is only the throttle sleeve itself. Throttle cables are sold separately.

How can I ensure the best throttle response?

Ensure the throttle cables are properly lubricated and adjusted for correct free play. Keep the handlebar and sleeve clean to minimize friction.

Troubleshooting

Throttle is sticky or binding

Check that the throttle cables are correctly seated in the sleeve and not kinked. Ensure the handlebar and sleeve are clean and free of debris. Verify correct throttle cable free play.

Throttle does not return to idle

Inspect cables for damage or fraying. Ensure the sleeve is not rubbing against any other components. Adjust cable tension if necessary, ensuring there is adequate free play.

Throttle sleeve feels loose on the handlebar

Ensure the correct model sleeve for your motorcycle was purchased. Clean the handlebar and the inside of the sleeve thoroughly. If the handlebar is damaged or worn, it may require replacement.
