Sport/Street Bike Throttle Bodies

Sport bikes are designed to maximize engine output and maneuverability to provide the best possible performance around the track. Top performance is synonymous, among other things, with the proper operation of your fast-revving engine. The engine needs to “breathe,” and the amount of air taken into the motor has a direct influence on horsepower and speed. A throttle body is in charge of this crucial function. It contains a flat valve that lets airflow into the motor depending on how hard you twist the throttle. While some motorcycles have electronic throttle control, others feature a throttle cable mechanism.

As you accelerate, the butterfly valve opens to let a larger amount of air enter the intake manifold. In the case of a malfunctioning throttle body or related sensors, the combustion process does not occur properly. Malfunctions like misfiring, poor or high idle can be caused by vacuum leaks. Dirt, soot, and carbon deposits can build up on the inside restricting airflow. Sluggish acceleration and poor performance are some of the common symptoms of throttle body problems. Whether you need to service or replace this part, or you want to upgrade to a bigger unit allowing more airflow, surf our virtual pages. We offer top-quality sport/street bike throttle bodies, designed by reputable brands and built to deliver the performance, durability, and efficiency you expect.
