[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 394435, member: 1875"] Hey Capt. Bob, You are right, it is a long time. Graphite probably helps a lot. I just never have it around and have no other use for it, so I grab white lithium grease. My big, fat football-shaped Sport-Touring grips definitely apply more side pressure on the slipper donut ring than stock grips. So that's contributor number two. I'm probably just lazy or too busy changing tires to really worry about it. Throttle is something I control 100% of the time unless it's locked or at idle, so the lack of a speedy return has not yet bothered me. I'm really just offering some ideas on what might make some people have quick returning throttles and others do not, with seemingly similar (yet not exact) setups. [/QUOTE]
