for those that don't know, for some boneheaded reason yamaha's r1 and r6 have larger throttle cams than the standard size the other three use. when placed in one of the standard sized bikes they become 1/5th and 1/6th turn respectfully.

Wouldn't that make throttle precision a bit choppy?

A bit more I'm sure but I'll learn to adjust. Besides, its jersey we don't have any corners here
