Throttle Meister installation

Moto Guzzi Quota 1000 and Quota 1100 ES models

Updated: 2012 August 20

Thanks to Randy Peterson for providing me with his photos and documentation for installing a Throttle Meister on a Moto Guzzi Quota.

I have just installed the Throttle Meister on my Quota. The installation was a minor challenge and the Throttle Meister company was very easy to work with, however they had no application data on the Quota, and a couple of units had to be supplied to work out the installation.

1. REMOVAL OF THE STOCK BAR END COVERS. Loosen the 5 mm hex cap screw, DO NOT REMOVE and give it a sharp rap with a light hammer, rotate and remove.

   

2. Measure the depth of the current counter bore and compare to the supplied mount for the Throttle Meister. Mine was ~¹⁄₄ inch too shallow.

   

3. Bore the handlebar with a ²¹⁄₃₂ inch diameter drill. I didn't have a drill chuck that was greater than ¹⁄₂ inch and I improvised using a vice grip and easily bored the aluminum bars.

   

4. Insert the Throttle Meister unit into the left (non throttle) side to get the required depth verified and finalize by installing the new Throttle Meister bar end.
5. On the Throttle Side, loosen the throttle locking bolts and slide the unit out so it extends past the bar end by ~¹⁄₁₆ inch.

   

6. Install the inner Throttle Meister unit and then add the rotating lock unit. Tighten the allen bolt and check the operation per the supplied Throttle Meister Instruction Sheet.
