Quick turn throttle tube - SV650.org

06-02-05, 11:09 PM

I ride a US model '01 SV650S in the states. I'm pretty sure it's the same as the UK models. My gripe is this - getting full throttle requires a big twist of the wrist! Does anyone know of a supplier of quick turn throttle tubes for this bike? Thanks.

PM ronlarimer.

He has done a writeup for changing to the R6 throttle tube. Straight swap for a 99 - 02. Minor mod for 03+.

I fitted an R1 throttle tube to my K4. It didn't require modification.

03/04 R6 is what you want for a carbed bike BTW. Not done it, yet.

Does this make the bike a bit jerky in town. I can be a bit club handed

First gear at low revs becomes ever so slighty (more) twitchy, but you get used to it. It's a good mod.

Did you buy the throttle tube new or from a breaker?

The bits are about a tenner new, for our bikes anyway Burner, so not much point

Comes with a grip too.

New, kindly supplied by Mr Itchin2go

Was £15 iirc and comes with the rubber grip too.
