If this mod is possible, I haven't seen it. ?Basically you are asking how to limit the rotation of the throttle cable, which would, as you say, limit how much gas you can give it.

However, I would advise against doing it. You'll be much better suited simply leanring to control your own hand and throttle inputs. This bike doesn't have a lot of power. In any given gear, simply opening up to full throttle won't throw you off the bike or anything. With a little more riding experience, you'll figure this out.

Plus, the hand control experience that you will gain by not limiting your throttle movements will help you in the future while riding at varying speeds in corners and turns, when you will need to know how to control your throttle inputs.

Good luck,
Jonathan

:oops: Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Trust me, there will NOT be a problem.

Suzuki, by building a 250 cc bike, has already done that FOR you.

Sudden twists of the throttle do ***NOT*** result in sudden increases in speed.

Leave the throttle as is. Learn to ride and exercise throttle control as part of your learning curve. When you feel ready just twist a little more and smile.

If ye like, I'll trade you my GZ125 (thats 1 2 5) for your 250 .... that'll solve yer power problem no bother ;-D !!

As mentioned, these bikes dont have a big load of power....better to learn how to use the throttle properly as its all integral to proper riding (and SAFE riding!).

Good luck.
