curvy throttle

You know I've been mubbling on about the clutch cable and not the trottle, but the loobing still applies, so ignore the worm drive bit. I had Jambo give me a hand with mine oiling it with a pressure cable oiler, it went from having a fixed cruise control throttle to one that was like a grease ferret, that had just had a bath in grease while skating on grease.

mine has the two cables as well, rekon chain lube is a good lubricant to use?

Scotoiler oil worked a treat for us, but 'oil' point blank is better then nothing.

On the throttle...you sure about that?

A new cable is only ?11, ok its baout ?30 if you buy both cables. In reality, you only need the one and its the one with the tab.

I like to use Halfords "Nylon&Rubber lubricant" for cables, comes in aerosol. I think it's now called "Silicone lubricant for rubber and plastics", same stuff.

Ideally disconnect the cable at the top end. Make a small funnel arrangement from tin-foil or similar at the cable outer, hold with a rubber band, then squirt some lube in and work it up/down. Many cable sare nylon lined these days, and it seems to suit the application well in my experience.

I thought that was just for in the bed room...

Do the R6 throttle mod.

Then your bike is one step closer to greatness.

The only way you can put a bike closer to greatness is by placing it near or under me.

You all wrong. SV's can only be transformed from "good bikes" to "great bikes" by the fitting of a Givi Monorack matched with a Givi Topbox.

Oh yes
