i'll have to dig it up but i found a write up on suspen setup that was awesome. explained it really well and had tons of trouble shooting info. they made it a stickey on another website. i'll get it when i have time and post it up. but it's about 20 pages to print it out i think. i'll just throw up the link.

they it is. i end up printing it and giving it away at almost every track day or race. worked great for me though.

will raising idle smooth that out and make it easier?

I used to do that on my 400 and carbed R6's.  Also helped to slightly reduce engine breaking.

and is there a throttle assy that is more accurate less bulky than the stock SV 1st GEN w/flatsides that i could look into /others would attest to

Probably but I can't recommend a brand - not very familiar with the SV, sorry.

I know yoyodyne sells a trick throttle with the ability to vary cable pull (1/4, 1/5, etc..).  I know racing an SV some this year taught me a fair bit about keeping up corner speed etc.  I hated the long throw on the throttle though, but I mostly raced it for fun-I put a lot more work into the R6.

I also use a high idle on both the bikes-like Jason said it helps reduce engine braking, plus its a very cheap slipper clutch!  I don't have a lot of trouble with rear end chatter but bumping up the idle really smoothed it out.

the R6 throttle is actually the throttle alot of sv guys use. its shorter throw and works well.
