An advanced Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) and Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (ASPG) ride-by-wire unit provides exceptional throttle feel. With the APSG, the degree of throttle opening is detected by a sensor and magnet which signals the throttle valve motor. The APSG is comprised of a spring, slider and gear and produces varying degrees of resistance to recreate a natural throttle feel during use.
