1) Remove old tube
2) Fit new tube 3) Adjust cables 4) Get in a pointless argument on the internet about it. The only things to watch, are that it's fairly easy to damage the screws that hold the control box together, and throttle cable adjustment's a bit of a fiddle if you've not done it before. You can do it all by trial and error if it comes to that.

My bad?  Have to admit I struggle to let it lie when people come out with twaddle like that and refuse to accept they might be wrong; even when presented with irrefutable evidence that they are!!!

I want to make it clear that if you think you are getting a performance upgrade, you will be disappointed ... what you are getting is something that will make riding a bit more comfortable (from a wrist point of view) and something that will make it easier to get full throttle position (again from a wrist point of view) unless you struggle to get full throttle with the standard tube, by design it WON'T/CAN'T make the throttle/engine response any quicker. My other point is that you are also only getting a few degrees advantage, so it is not like the difference in twist is revolutionary. But it is a difference and it is in the right direction. I have done it on 2 of my 3 SVs and will do it to my 3rd if/when I get round to it ... but to be honest the difference in twist is not significant enough for me to loose any sleep over it
