Brilliant, freaking brilliant . . . you should write lyrics for showtunes . . . very helpful thank you. I see that you don't live in SoCal, so probably never make it to the Rock Store on the Saturday am session . . . you don't have a Gen 2 . . . and you probably don't have the G2 throttle tamer either . . . ."I don't want a pickle, I just want to ride my motorcycle", even on tight canyon roads with walls on one side and drop-offs on the other side!!!!!

Unwind it yourself, it's not hard. Did it on both my Gen 2 bikes, no issues, just a noticeably lighter, therefore more easily controllable, throttle. No inspection by any authority would find it, unless you had one of the very rare bikes that wouldn't close the throttle properly on the remaining spring. Then it is a bit of a bear to wind it up again, but it can and has been done....I tried to get LACyclesport to "release" the throttle spring one turn, but they claimed that would be a "violation" against the manufacturer's code or something ....

Thanks for the post . . . may or may not get there on the DIY . . . that looks like one of those jobs that appears "easy" but just waiting to lull the operator into submission and sping itself apart . . . .

+ 1 on that Dan. My 06, I had to do the throttle tube replacement and do the single turn release on the throttle spring. The 15 using the touring mode for cruising around is very smooth and nice for two up."T" Mode on the Gen III, soft and smooth.
