- Wanted to create a video of installing Ducati Spacers on a 2020 Triumph Thruxton TFC. The throttle play on this bike was a lot and wanted it corrected.
ducatispacers....
At the end of the day, this was a great purchase and immediately resolved the excessive throttle play.
Feel free to comment and ask any questions you have!
Just ordered one for my Street Scrambler, thanks for the useful video
you can save the cost for the kit and use 2 small peices of duct tape to remove the play from the throttle tube cleats
Yeah, the function of these are very basic. I could have drawn up the spaces and 3d printed them out as well. But for the time invested vs cost, I decided to just purchase these.
As far as using other items to take up the space, yep, tape would work as well.
yeah, it's such an easy fix, and improvement of ride quality, that's its sort of embarrassing that triumph doesn't fix the slop in the throttle tube
I did this mod on my Thruxton. It eliminates the play but the throttle doesn't have the lag you need and makes it snatchy. So reversed it.
Yes, this will eliminates all slack. So, if you like a bit more give, then this is not what you want to do.

I have the same red clip fitted to my Ducati Panigale and they work just fine. The difference is it's dyno to 250 increment to deliver a smooth throttle response.
On the Triumph Factory custom, I realised that it worked better without.
triumph did design this to like this.
Yep, just had to play nice with regulations for governments :)
Great bike & vid, do they affect the disengage of the cruise control or accepting a different rider mode? Thanks
Cotti - The bike doesn't have cruise control unfortunately. But if it did, I wouldn't see it interfering with the function of it. Regarding the riding modes, I have not seen or had it affect the different riding modes.
Do you still own it?
Hello WMG. I have a 2019 Speed Twin. Did these spacers create any noticeable drag from rubbing as I see they're larger than the stock part they sit on? Also should any additional lubrication be applied? On a different note, are those aftermarket front brake/clutch levers and if so could you disclose the make/model#? Thanks in advance.
Dave
Hey David! I have not noticed any difference in drag compared to when it was stock. No additional lubrication was needed. As far as the levers, they are Brembo MCS models.
@@weekendmotorcycleguy3229 Thanks for the reply big guy. I'm waiting on those Ducati spacers as we speak. I'm putting those levers on my list as well.
Useful mod thanks, but why on earth use a power tool anywhere near those components when a hand tool does just the job with no risk of harm to the finish of components? I winced a few times at the wizzing noise....a simple hand held screw driver will do the job 8 days a week. Get to know your tools. Power tools are far to fierce for the majority of jobs, great for drilling holes in walls but....
I use both and depending on what I'm working on, I'll use hand tools. But different strokes for different folks I suppose. I will say that I've done plenty of more to the bike and have used power tools on all of it. Still no damage from the tools because I know the capability of the tools.
