Reduce Force of Throttle Return Springy Thingy

Quite right

May I suggest a new/lubed set of cables. Curvy doesn't have a heavy throttle when everything is healthy.

Would that not cause the opposite effect of what I'm trying to achieve?

Kinda, but if your hand is getting tired then it's more likely that excess force needed to move it anywhere is the issue.

Yep, fair and interesting point.

When I adjusted the throttle free play with the cable adjusters (lever side) on my SV650S pointy, setting them incorrectly would make it return slower or stick. I dunno if you can ride it like that though.
