search my friend. there are hundreds of posts on this topic
it is first of all a 1/6 turn throttle but that is beside the point.
basically it is shorter throttle cables and a different profile cam on the throttle sleeve that causes the throttle to open farther with less twist of the wrist.

there is a write up on how to install it on www.hooliganbiketech.net

both good bikes
new tech on the kawi
kawi is lighter with more hp and better brakes

still the 954 is a honda and still has that honda quality in it.
biggest complaint i have ever heard about them is that they like to wheelie with stock gearing
