Default 06 Super Glide Throttle Tension

New here. Nice forum and Hello!

Have an 06 Super Glide and the throttle seems not to have enought tension for me. Seems when I hit a bump etc. I keep "burping" the throttle. I'm kind of an old school guy and this is the fist FI bike I've owned. Tried winding up the "cruise control" screw but it either binds or is loose. Any ideas out there?

It will come loose as the miles pile up. The two nuts for each cable under the throttle grip will adjust the free play.

I was thinking the exact same thing on my ride yesterday.Every bump I hit would cause the throttle to move and lurch the bike!

I t doesn't appear to me throttle cable adjustment, it's just twisting the throttle is so damn sensitive. I haven't looked yet, but I assume the thottle springs are buildt into the throttle body cross shaft.Probably can't increase the tension there. I gotta figure something out. I feel like I sound like an idiot when going through town and I hit a bump, rapping thethrottle each time.
