[QUOTE="Fred H., post: 113673, member: 2059"] One other thing I have been thinking about that might help make the bike smoother, is to go figure out exactly what Yamaha changed on the throttle pull assy for the 06, and undo it by either modification, or installing parts off an 05. In 06, they apparently made a change so that the throttle plate actuation is not linear with throttle grip movement and I believe they made small throttle grip changes at low RPM result in larger throttle plate movements. I am not clear why they did this, maybe it was to make the bike feel like it had more low end grunt. I can't help but feel that this change is one of the big reasons the bike is hard to ride smooth. If I can figure out exactly what changes they made, I may attempt to go see if they can be put back to the way they are on an 05. If the changes were made at the throttle grip it should be fairly easy, but if they made them to the throttle bodies it may be more trouble than it is worth. [/QUOTE]
