[QUOTE="FJRski, post: 174676, member: 1676"] My advice - - for what it is worth - - and before you spend a lot of $$$ on a solution: Put another 2 k on her, adjust the cables, and maybe do a TBS. I suspect you'll see a complete change in character. As many on this forum have said, the FJR has a fairly long break-in period. I believe that. During the first 4k miles, mine had a throttle response that could best be described as vicious. Opening the throttle ever so little resulted in a cannonshot of acceleration. The wife bitched about my driving (although that's nothin' unusual), and I didn't even let her on till I had a few thousand on it. It wasn't looking good. I don't know how much I improved, and how much the bike mellowed-out, but it seems to handle much better now. +1 on reducing cable slack, and I feather the clutch a little in low speed (intersection-type) hard turns to compensate for abrupt speed changes, but then I never claimed to have great technique.
