#4When you installed the grips how did you do it ? Praps if they were really tight and you "screwed" them on and the throttle was hard against the stop a possiblity of stretching the cable ?

#5that' s what i was thinking, i adjusted the free play in the cable however. Could it still be the cable that's the problem ?

#6I would think if you have adjusted the free play it would be ok........... but ?

#7ya it should be okay ...but ya i know what you mean? Its gotta have something to do with the grip change, i will go back to thicker stock grips just to see i guess!! Thanks

#8smaller diameter handle means less distance to move, yeah? so for the same amout of movement in throttle as before you'll get a bigger opening of the throttle now, yeah....?
btw, how did you adjust out the play in the throttle cable? I fancy doing mine a teeny bit but am nervous of messing with the throttle. I opened it up and didnt see anything obvious to adjust so just closed it up again....or am i looking at the wrong end of the throttle cable?

#10Adjusting play in throttle cable for the throttle cam is done on the cable adjusters just past the throttle housing. It takes 5 minutes and one wrench, see manual for throttle play adjustment, it's no big deal to do.
