R6 Throttle Tube
Seeing as we've lost the original threads on the R6 throttle tube conversion I thought I'd start it again.
Cost: Around seven quid (though many thanks to Sudoxe for the freebie!) Fit: Perfect Ease of installation: On the naked SV, it's a pain in the @rse, as the bars have to come off to do it properly as there is less play in the throttle cables than with the standard tube and you have to slide the new one on after you've managed to get the cables attached (and what a bugger they were to attach!). Result: Perfectomundo! After the rear sprocket mod, this has to be second. The bike is so much more responsive and the power comes on so much quicker that you'd swear you had another 10 BHP. Downside? Nothing really if you've a smooth hand, apart from personally not liking the Yamaha grip as it's a little thicker than the Suzuki one, so I shall probably order one for the SV when I get around to it. Now with my 46 tooth rear sprocket, 4 degree ignition advance and fifth turn throttle tube (as opposed to the standard bike's quarter turn), a clumsy hand will find it hard to keep the front wheel down in first, and it almost wheelies off the power in second. So if you have a curvy - do it! . |

Sounds good, It only took a few mins on the pointy/faired to swap over. Whoops..
So...jonboy...When do I get a turn? Dan |

I think part numbers would help, the R6 has diffrent tubes for the diffrent years.

Lifted off the svrider forum....
5SL-26240-01-00, comes with a grip. About £11 ISTR. This is an 03-04 R6 type tube and fits all curvy's without mods. Slight mod reqd. for the pointy faired, but unfaired needs no mods either according to the thread (might be wrong, ie. i, haggis, am not taking responsibility!) |

Yes it would have to as the bar diameters are identical as far as I'm aware.
