quicker turn throttle
Opened the bike up a couple of times recently and decided I would like to get up into the power faster.
Who makes quicker turning throttle assemblies for the 14?

I think Schnitz does.
Also a guy called rifleman sells them on the zx-10R forum . His are cheaper.

Rifleman,
I have an 05 R-6 throttle tube to compare with stock and rifleman.
Not sure if the R6 tube will work, but I wanted a shorter pull for a few of the bikes I own.
Stock is 1/4 turn
Rifleman is1/5th?
R6 throttle tube is $13.00

I have the Rifleman piece. Very easy to install and works great. If I remember correctly it cost $25 dollars shipped. Here are links to the install instructions:

I have the rifleman piece also....it's awesome.
Be sure to warn anyone who may want to ride your bike (I only let the wife ride mine!) that it's on there!! Could potentially be dangerous!!
Also, with the quick throttle, at below 3000 rpm, and you whack it WOT, the bike will hesitate sometimes. You won't be able to map it out....you're simply going WOT too quickly!!

Yeah, I have considered the Accelerator feature....but could never get it to make a difference...but it may have been before the rifleman kit....
