What do you mean by to easy? Have you adjusted it at all?

changed bars and grips and before was kinda stiff. easy to maintain speed now seems like it's up and down with the speed. could I've not gotten the ferrel tight enough.

Did you try tightening the star shaped tensioner between the two throttle cables where they exit the grip area?
