ah i already had it stripped as i do stuff before i think hahahaha but i left the radiator on and could still do it - none of the spark plugs were lose so i dont know why i have stuff coming outta the weep hole -which is why i was going near that in the 1st place wasnt anything to do with milage or changing them just wanted to tighten them - anyway back to this thread heres photos of "them brass things" opened and closed the didnt open fully when the throttle was back fully id say if closed was zero degrees and fully open is 90degrees they opened about 70degrees difficult to see in the photos as its with my phone but they defo didnt open the full 90degrees as for the plate well its defo longer than the normal plate so if i cut some off that would probably get more power but im just going to leave it as it im happy enought with the power i have now anyway
I have an 04 FZ6 S1. While working on my throttle bodies I've noticed this...
Is my bike restricted? I can see a similar pin on the TB where the cable connects in Yama's catalog, but can't make out if it's the same. [1]
If it's indeed a factory restriction, why would my docs say 72 KW. My TPS test shows full range till 102, would a restricted throttle get to this? Maybe it's just a pin to prevent breaking of the throttle cable?
And when I rode it my hands were shaking due to adrenaline excess....

EDIT:
Just some thoughts. If TPS is calibrated to run through full range and 04-06 bikes don't have a MAF sensor, with this restriction butterfly valves won't open 90°, but injectors, when ultimately fed information from TPS will work at full capacity... that makes the bike run rich though (bad air/fuel ratio), am I missing something or is this a really stupid way to restrict it?

There are several threads on this topic.
To the best of my knowledge the only difference is the throttle stop restricting the maximum volume of air the engine can ingest.
Its easily corrected. However, i don't live there and don't know that they DIDN'T do other things!
If possible this could be settled by looking at the PN on the OEM ECU! If the ecu has the same part number as all the other FZ's out there, its a simple fix. Replace the throttle stop and let it breath.
Sample of US bike with NO restriction.
Position of Throttle Stop at idle:
At WOT - blades must rotate ~ 90° from idle position!!!
A restricted throttle stop would have that downleg below the two screws EXTENDED so as to PREVENT about 30% of the travel which open the throttle blades allowing air into the engine. Some bend it, some saw it, some replace it.
If you lift the fuel tank, the ECU is right there (Bulk of wires into one device). Read the PN from it and report back!
