Just adjusted my TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and also added aTRE. The familiar on-off throttle feeling is gone. Now very smooth throttle at low RPM. Love it! This has got to be one of the biggest "bang for the buck" things that I've done to the SV. Here's a link to a step-by-step guide, for those not familiar with what I'm talking about:

The TPS on newer SV's will look slightly different, but the same thing is done. It almost looks like there are two smaller TPS units. Adjust the one closer to the seat. Also helpful is a good source for the Torx security bit. I finally located a set at Sears. Used a 1/4 inch wrench with the bit fitted inside, since a socket would've made a tight fit. Here's a link to what you're looking for at Sears:

Edit: Almost forgot. A snipped paper clip worked much better for me as a "dealer tool" than the speaker wire recommended in the original thread.
