Really? No modding at all? What's my bike considered in "gen" terms? Sorry with all the noob questions.

I know this may be repetitive ....but I did the R6 Throttle Tube Mod last night on my 05 SV 650S and it is actually really cool ...nice suttle difference in throttle response. I have had my bike since new June 05 and over the years have done several mods and this was another that will make the riding expericence that much better.
I shaved 3mm off the end as directed in the canyon chaser writeup and svrider posts and it works perfect
If you have any mech ability do this mod $10 and 20 mins of time

I think it's pretty well been confirmed that '07+ SVs do not require any modification to the R6 throttle tube.

I put one on my 08. Best mod so far. Cheap, fast, and immediate results. Much easier on the wrist and going from 0 to WOT takes about a 1/4 turn.

cool, thanks. looks like I will be ordering one shortly. ;D
I just completed the mod myself, I haven't taken it out for a spin right now, all I did was slip it on without modding it at all. Seems to have the throttle valve in the closed position. 06 Sv650.
Sure is sweet to have a short twist to get that machine going, only took a couple of minutes to get it installed and for 11 dollars all together worth every penny of it so far!!

Everyone that has done it says it is the best mod they have done. It seems like it would be a small thing but once you see what a difference it makes, you're a believer! it should have come from the factory that way. Who wants to strain their wrist?
