R6 Throttle conversion for the SV (carb'd)

Paparently if I put on a R6 throttle tube Part number 5SL-26240-01-00 it will change my trottle response from a 1/5 turn to a 1/4 turn. Which will mean I'm quicker on the gas, full throttle without moving your hand, to re-position.

Found these instructions:
Lift tank.
Loosen throttle cables.
Remove bar end weight
Remove throttle grip, philips screws underneath.
Remove throttle cable from OE throttle tube, replace with R6 throttle tube.
Re-assemble in reverse order.

Check out your Haynes or owner manual and read through the sections for adjusting throttle cables.
If you haven't got a Haynes you can get one from most Halfords.

It's very simple, you're just taking tension off the cables and replacing one part with the new one. Take your time and you'll be fine.
