r6 throttle mod , can it be done on a curvy?

straight swap on a curvy, but you have to do a slight mod for it to fit on the pointy (down to the fact pointys are carp)

its not going to suddenly transform your bike into a R6, but i likes it......... and for less than a tenner, worth a punt

so is it a straight swap on a curvy or is it a slight mod on a curvy Mr Hovis

although ive never liked how much the throttle needs to be twisted to get full throttle id never really thought about anything like this as i wasnt aware of it....think i may have just found my next mod....

opps....... edited my post

basicly, its just like a quick action throttle

right then ive read every link available on here and all links leading off that!!!

could someone clarify please.....

I already have heated grips fitted....can i keep these and just put the r6 tube underneath my existing grip (ie just change the tubes)

thanks....no debate needed.....i know its not a performance mod....i dont wanna 10 page row with blue or the other guy (can remember name)!!!! hahahaha

It adds at least 300bhp and will make women, (or men/goats/whatever you like, we're not prejudiced here), fall at your feet and desire you to their very core.

And you'll get a rebate from the Inland Revenue and dispensation from the Queen to break any old speed limit you like and be immune from prosecution.

Plus a dinner date with Kylie, (or - insert 'celebrity' of your choice), paid for by Tony Bliar hisself. And all for the price of a trip to a Yammy dealer and a few quid of your hard earned.

Little bargain!

sweet thanks hovis,

this has to be the most cost effective mod EVER....at £10 for 300bhp gain it works out at £0.033p per HP...definatly worth it!!!!lol

Yeah, do this. You've got an adjustment problem, no reason to replace parts for it. The R6 swap is quite nice mind, certainly worth doing IMO- it's not "quick action" because the throttle's as fast as the hand, it's "short action", which is good for comfort and wrist position. Very nice.

wow! a useful thread just as i was going to ask a similar question. and i thought you lot just natter away to kill time at the office
