Well nobody who's read the forum in the few hours since you posted anyway...

I did on my old GSXR, doesnt make that much difference TBH. The throttle tubes of the 04 R1's are also popular as they have a larger diameter

I like the idea. BUT, can you be sure that after this mod the throttle don't hang on more easily. If the possibility of an error is the same as without the mod, then I could do this. So someone wiser please comment :thumbsup: I don't know how it would get stuck but anyway. Maybe it can't, I don't know. I'm no expert :D

I think PVC pipe mod. will more effects than zip-tie.
do you think we need to play with the cables...
i got an fcr, and hacing to remove it from the bike to play with the cables is annoying...

Not at all, just tought I'd like to know if someone else has done this to his SM. Maybe I should have presented my question in other words :) . Just have bad experiences of some homemade mods, fixed older hondas throttle and it hung on while I was wheeling it :lol: The fix hasn't got anything to do with this mod though. Maybe I'll try this now that its already too cold to ride out there.
btw, how did you know Finland is Suomi in finnish? :thumbsup:

Some of us have "culture"...im serbian, so we learn stuff in school...like the Finns
I also used to have a Finnish girl...
she was a beauty, black hair, scandinavian features, very beautiful
i gotta say one thing...hear a finnish woman talk, and you melt...
And they are easy to approach after 1-2 drinks..i reckon most you Finnish boys need a few more drinks before getting comfotable, so us foreigners get to steal them
Its not too cold in Finland yet, you guys must be in the 5-10 C. In Canada, where i live, we are already in the minus, and im still riding to work (quick 3 minute ride), but it feels good to be able to still...

and what does this do?
effectively makes the throttle tube diameter larger so that it takes up the cable (read as opens throttle) quicker.
basically you don't have twist your wrist as far to get to WOT.

Yeah, we are at 5-10 C at the moment, yet its raining all the time and the mornings are freezing cold! Locked the front wheel two or three times the other day and haven't been riding since. Tore down the bike and went through all the bearings etc. cause I seem to have too much time :smirk:
Well, I might as well go and see if I can do something useful now, maybe glue the zip-tie.
(ps. When the finnish boys get comfortable enough to do the approach they're already too drunk :smirk: Just kidding. I always thought german was the language of love :D )
