[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1263621, member: 18388"] Makes sense to me, the downside is having to turn the throttle further to get full throttle for those times when you want it. I had forgotten about the throttle spring unwind.... it helps as your muscles can control a lighter load better. Also, set the throttle cable freeplay to zero.... sneak up on it while adjusting and stop when it is zero. Not good if you go too far after that zero point. The other thing I use is a rubber band affair called the Original Throttle Boss..... have one on each bike, but unless you see old stock in a shop, you'll have a hard time finding one. It is small, and amazingly effective for its size. The new one being sold is wider..... I guess they were trying to emulate the Throttle Tamer..... anyway, you could get one and cut it down to make it narrower. This again lets you use your outer palm to add some control to the throttle roll on rather than relying solely on your wrist muscles. [/QUOTE]
