Speed Triple 955 throttle grip side to side movement

The throttle is just a tube held in place by the housing, the side movement is a good sign in that there is freeplay and nothing is sticking.
I have about 2mm movement on my 2010 Speedie

I do not think it is anyhting to worry about

 

My 955i S3 has about the same movement, thought it strange at first but doesn't affect anything. It's fine.

 

Three pistons do a nice bar end mirror and they work ok

 

Yes it did feel odd but didn't affect the throttle movement any. The pic is actually when the previous owner had it, since put on a bellypan, rad cowls and a change of exhausts amongst other things. The bar end mirrors were on when I got them, just cheap Chinese ones available for a few quid, the're actually pretty good, they only fold inward when into triple figures (private road honest) but give a decent view rearward.

 

I have a 1999 speed triple and the throttle tube moves side to side on mine only noticed it today

 

lol only 7 years, bloody novice novice. Was about 26 years away from bikes for me and there are guys much longer outta the saddle in here.
I agree,it did feel a lot different out there those first couple of hundred times
