I have always been an advocate of the mod ... it is worth a go for the price ... but worth a go for what??

Correct.

Yup, I'm with you there Skip, there really is nothing left to say. If Blue wants an argument, then let him feel free to find another sparring partner, as I'm seriously bored, now.

IMHO the R6 tube would make the bike more enjoyable to ride, due to the fact that if while cruising with a comfortable hand position I decide to "wring its neck" I would end up opening the throttle fully. Whereas with the standard SV tube to open the throttle fully it would require me to reposition my hand to attain this.

I'm certainly going to try it.. not expecting more horsepower or even better acceleration, just a more comfortable and enjoyable ride.

Another thing I think would make the throttle operation more comfortable would be slightly weaker return springs on the carbs, has this been tried?

So does anyone have the actual part I need to order from Yamaha for my 2001 curvy? There's a right hand set on eBay at the moment but I'm guessing I only need the throttle grip.

In that case the R6 tube is for you, it does make it that little bit more comfortable to use the throttle, but we are only talking a few degrees here, so don't expect a massive change in rotation. Personally I'd still want less than the R6 tube, to make things easier/more comfortable still, but at least the R6 tube is in the right direction and cheap enough to do.

I am not looking for a argument??? But after trying to explain that what you are saying is scientific nonsense (and suggested you reading up on it), you still refuse to accept that by sheer design of a CV carb, it cant possibly do what you are suggesting!!!!!

Before you embarrass yourself further, Please Please read up on Constant Velocity carbs and how they work, it is an interesting, simple, but ingenious design that is actually there for preventing sudden throttle openings!!!

can we have an idiot proof guide on how to do this
