Wow.
Used an R1 or R6 throttle tube, not sure what, Joe got it for me, im sure someone will post up what it was.

2min job to swap it out, with the help of Mr F. Squirrell.

It makes a fair bit of difference, easier to grab a lot more throttle, if you have trouble moving your wrists, etc. By doing so you get more acceleration, than if your unable to pull the throttle back properly, if that makes any sence?

For the price 13quid i think, its well worth it.

I read about this before - does anyone know if this will apply to the K2 as well?

How hard are they to fit on a K4? Is it really worth doing?

Jonboy, it's dead easy for the carbed ones- take the old one off, put the new one on, adjust cables, job's a good 'un. Well worth doing. Once you've sorted out the advancer tool.

I'm quite bad for babying my bike- it's got a really strong midrange anyway so I'll happily ride about never usingthe top 1/4 of the revs. This has made a big difference to that, since the whole range is more easily used.
