View Full Version : touchy throttle
Does anyone have any problems with an extremely touchy throttle? This may be normal, I dont know. Any ideas?

compared to what? if you're just learning to ride compared to a car the throttle on any bike is pretty sensitive, it's something you get used to over time:)

You can try adjusting the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) so FI comes on lower in the revs as well as doing a TRE...
Have you adjusted the slack in the cables? - I noticed a large reduction in "snatch" once I had done so.

welcome...
What bike is it for a start.
I'd say go for throttle cable adjustment, chain adjustment, carb/TB balance, TPS adjustment.
They're the usual culprits for making it feel snatchy

There just has to be a 'marriage' related joke in there somewhere ;)
