R1 5vy Secondary throttles

Has anybody removed the secondary throttle butterflys from an 04-06 R1 ? If so what was the result?

I'm sure I've seen something on here in the past but the search is defunct for now.

As I understand it (and I could have this completely wrong) they're there to help stop the throttles being opened too quick and throwing the rider off. Obviously this isn't a concern in a car. If they restrict the pick up/throttle response, are you better without them and does it cause a problem...?

Well my 750 GSXR ones never even had secondary ones on the bike

From all the guides about putting bike tb's on cars the advise was always to remove them ..

Looks to me like the jury's out on whether it improves the bike or makes it worse.

Probably grandmothers and eggs but you can use google to restrict your search to LCB by adding the site to the search string, e.g.
r1 secondary butterflies site:locostbuilders.co.uk
