Hi all. I've been searching Google for answers and it seems that it's just normal for the SV650 to have a really sensitive throttle. I have a 2000 nekkid model but just wanted clarification on this as it seems I'm constantly fighting with the throttle to maintain a steady speed, mainly at lower speeds.

To explain further, it's like I have to hold the throttle firmly in one really precise position to cruise along at 30mph, if I deviate just a really tiny amount off suddenly I'm engine braking quite hard, a really tiny amount on and I'm accelerating.

If this is normal then that's fine, I can get used to it, but just seems like I have no margin of error, so to speak.
