softtail Std Throttle
We just picked up the wifes 2002 FXST this weekend, I drove it home as it was pretty damned cold. (I'm sure the married guys will understand 
) Anyways, I noticed that the throttle spring was pretty stiff, or at least a lot stiffer than my 08 heritage. Any tips tricks, etc. for reducing the effort required to hold the throttle open? I can see on a longer trip that it would get uncomfortable.

I agree with Bubba... check that friction screw on the bottom. If it turns out to be just a heavy throttle, check out getting a Throttle Boss installed. I have the Kury ISO Grips with a Throttle Boss, and LOVE IT! Makes long rides so much more comfortable.

the friction screw works as it's supposed to. I'm going to lube the cables tonight, but turning the butterfly on the carb itself makes me feel like the spring is what's causing it.
