[QUOTE="twinfan, post: 838428, member: 19182"] My throttle is stiff enough that I keep a CrampBuster on the grip at all times so I tried this mod while I was changing spark plugs on my '06. It turns out I have the same situation where the spring did not return all the way to the tang once unwound one turn. In fact, the throttle did not re-engage the spring until it was almost halfway open. Between this and the wire from the aftermarket grip heater the throttle was very slow to return to idle. At least I was smart about rewinding the spring. Two loops of 6 lb. fishing leader were enough and the leader easily followed the spring around the shaft as it unwound. It was a simple matter of pulling it back and re-engating the tang. I was hoping this would work but I'd rather have 100% assurance the throttle will return to idle. [/QUOTE]
