You can usually crack the glue if you try hard enough. Unless you go mad with it that is

this sounds great - I'm always up for an extra 5bhp at the wheel. & all for £10! can I fit one on the left grip too?

There really is no extra BHP, it just feels that way when you snap open the throttle in first and second. And I do mean that: snap it. If you're gentle or even just quickish with the throttle, you'll notice not a jot of difference. It's when you're able to get the throttle to fully open in a quicker time, that the power comes on seemingly instantly, giving the wonderful impression of being more powerful.

Worth it for a tenner? Oh yes.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... How many times!?!? … the limiting factor to the throttle opening time is the slider spring, orifices, engine speed and the diaphragm setup etc etc … the throttle isn’t directly connected to the sliders … all you are doing is moving the butterfly valves … you can whack these open instantaneously and it won’t make the throttle pick up any faster than is possible with the given slider setup …

If you have even looked at some CV carbes in action you would realise that the sliders move (reasonably) slowly and they are in relation to engine revs … the whole thing is certainly slower than even an arthritic granny could do even with a standard tube …

The whole premise of a CV carb is that it prevents sudden opening of the throttle as this sudden change in pressure would mess with the carburetion … so it segregates the throttle butterflies from the sliders (which actually do the throttle regulation). All this tosh is just a fundamental misunderstanding of how CV carburettors work!!

Please please type in "CV (Constant Velocity) carburetor" into a search engine and read up on how they work before anyone else doles out any more drivel!!!

FFS I know the difference it makes, so do others. It's most certainly noticeable. If you hate the mod so much, and if you think it's completely ineffective, then I take it that you've put the standard SV throttle tube back on, right?

I said this further up the thread, but that was months ago so I might as well say it again... For me, the "speed" of the throttle makes no difference at all to how I use the power, it's just easier and more comfortable to make full use of the throttle as the shorter action suits my wrist better, enabling me to save my right wrist for more important tasks. *

But, when you change things like this it's not always the hardware difference that really changes how the bike feels, it's the way you interact with the bike. Sort of like swapping tyres- almost everyone's happier on a new set of tyres, even though chances are they never found the limits of the old ones. Psychology in action.

So with this, it's not all about the hardware. It's about how Jonboy's hand and brain feels as he uses the throttle. And that's every bit as important as a hardware change.

*such as shaving

I'd have the throttle movement half what it is with the R6 throttle tube if I could!! :P

So I don't hate the mod, but I DO understand what it is doing for me ...

And I understand what it does for me. And that, I assure you, is fine.

And for you it is making the bike 'pick up' notably quicker as you are attaining full throttle tube rotation in what must be only a few thousands of a second quicker right??
