Default Throttle By Wire

Any way to adjust the electronic throttle grip to have more tension? I'm having a hard time getting the throttle feel down as there's hardly any resistance on rotating the throttle as opposed to a cable setup? Or is this something I'll adjust to over time?

I also have 'throttle by wire' and have got used to the lighter movement. If it bothers you that much and have the technical acumen take it apart and have a look see, my guess is that there are return springs in there that you may be able to swap out perhaps for ones that have stronger tension? I don't know but I am now a little intrigued, but not enough to dismantle my own.
