So, in short. It exists, but is a dumb/worthless thing to do for a streetbike. Brian |
Couldn't disagree more. Was definately one of the better mods that I did on my SV650 and I'll eventually do it on the ZRX1100 as well.
I don't think it's a newbie friendly mod though. Abrupt throttle inputs come from inexperience not a different throttle ratio.
