As far as i`m aware Mike didn`t have any problems with my clutch cable either?

I can confirm, i have had no issues with the clutch, i did think it was tiny bit tight at first but re-routing it more effeciently sorts it out.
I even think you could get away with the throttles if you re-routed them better.

Nope no problem with the clutch cable, it needed re-routing but it all works fine. There is no issue with clutch slip on full lock either. I have been told that the clutch cable for the naked SV is slightly longer than the S model's, (I need to confirm this but they certainly have different part numbers) so you could replace the clutch cable with one from a naked.

To Specialone and Lucky -

Were yours both fitted to an S?

YES for both. That's the point of the kit isn't it. ;)

The standard clutch cable does work fine, but it's not perfect. Route it one way and it rubs on the yoke on full R/H lock, route it the other way and it kinks a bit at the end of the metal tube on full L/H lock. Most people would be happy with it, but I'm not most people. ;)

So the question arises, would I be better just buying a clutch cable for a naked or a V-Strom "just in case" I have any problems with the routing etc?
It's only about a tenner. If it's not needed in the end, then it's there for emergencies or I could resell it.

It also may cut down on the liberal and prolific use of multiple conjoined expletives which is known to occur if I'm having problems when working on the bike. :)

Well I haven`t fitted the kit but why waste money on buying something you`re not going to need?

I was wondering that?
