Throttles
These are throttle styles available for use with Stokemonkey. They work by moving a little magnet in proximity to a sensor, with a spring return to zero. It’s a more robust design electrically than friction-wiper types whose contacts corrode, but the material quality is regrettably a bit flimsy. For example, overtightening the set screw will distort the body and cause the throttle to stick, which can be dangerous. These throttles fit only 7/8″ OD handlebars, not the 15/16″ of road-style bars.
This is the left-side version of the thumb throttle. Note that the wire exit angle is a bit odd (off the top) when the thumb paddle is at rest.
Split-twist style, available in left and right-side versions. The left-side version is recommended for best compatibility with conventional US brake/shifter layout. Not compatible with twist-style shifters; you can substitute a thumb- or other style front shifter instead. Some trigger-style shifters may require light filing to clear the throttle body.
Thumb style. Not generally compatible with trigger-style shifters. Take care to assure that the paddle cannot catch on anything, like an adjacent twist shifter body! Available in both left and right-mount versions. If you choose right-mount, you should run your brakes English/moto style, with the rear brake on the left for best control with this style.
This measure is the same with the split-twist style.
