AAAAAANNNYWAY.
Today, I popped by the BMF Kelso show, and there was a stall selling 1/5 action throttle kits. Not proper quick action as SV650racer mentioned, just the wee slip-on bits of plastic that sell for £25. Very impressed by the seller "What bike you got mate" "Carbed SV650" "Same throttle parts as teh SRAD that isn't it." "Yeah... But listen, I've already fitted an R6 throttle tube, do these things make any difference" "Ah... Well, to be honest, these are worse- they're a couple of degrees longer, they can be fiddly to fit and they cost 3 times more" "Cheers!"

I got an extra throttle tube in the bag of bits with my bike....going to check tonight if it's an R6 one, if so then sweet!!
How easy is it (read how do you  ) get the old tube off and fit the new one? Does it simply slide off and back on, or do I need glue etc?Cheers, Paul |

Have one of these (the R6 tube) on the K3 SV. Not got anything similar on the GSXR yet. Missed it at the nurburgring. By the time you've 'double' twisted, the other bikes have got a jump on you...
Well worth it for the money. |

So is the only way to do this for the pointy is to buy that part and cut/sand that edge off as shown in the mini-guide?
Might have to try this mod as it seems like the cheapest way to get a crisper throttle response. (If that's what it does :P) |

So it REALLY makes a difference then?
I'm hearing mixed things.

Buy it, stick it on, amend your signature. Hardly worth losing sleep over! If you don't like it, put the old back on and the sell the R6 tube to someone on here!
