R6 throttle tube mod - Pointy?
 

I managed to snap my throttle tube when fitting some heated grips. Instead of replacing it with an SV throttle tube, I was thinking of getting the R6 throttle tube instead. I very rarely use full throttle (maybe that's a good thing?) mainly because it's uncomfortable twisting my wrist right the way back just to get there.

I have a K6 pointy. Any tips or anything I should know? Worth doing etc?

Only works on curvey.
Well it will go on your one but can jam up and that you don't want.

^ Thanks. I think I'll give it a miss. I was looking more for a cheap option but there's no way I'm risking the throttle getting stuck.

You can add a strip to the drum.
I will sort a link tonight with a how too .

Its same principal on the SV.

according to svrider, it can be done to a pointy with the r6 tube but needs some filing to the tube, think it was a small groove or similar.

can look for it if you need it.

When I was researching this for the curvy there was a "how to" guide for the pointy.

Can I ask what doing this mod would achieve? Excuse me if I'm asking a silly question

Re: R6 throttle tube mod - Pointy?
 

Reduces the amount of 'wrist twist' required to obtain fully open throttle as far as i understand.

Cool cheers for that. :thumbsup:

it is noticeable too, and only about £10 from a yam dealer.
