You mean end play? A certain amount of it is unavoidable. Doesn't bother me....

If you're talking about throttle engagment, ie on/off, there is no adjustment. If you find on/off throttle to be abrupt, try keeping your wrist lower than the heel of your hand.

I use a fuel pak 3. If it is the sensitivity you are talking about. You can go from relaxed to hyper sensitive. Or stock. I like it in the middle. About 5 positions, Done thru ecm

Pretty sure he's talking about the grip, not throttle actuation, but he needs to clarify

Pretty normal for the throttle to move in and out. Check if your throttle cables aren’t loose and need to get tightened up.
