Default Snatchy throttle

Just installed some Thrashin Supply Moto bars on my 2020 RGS. Bike runs great but my throttle feels snatchy / jerky while riding especially on bumpy roads. I think it's due to the position and sweep of my new bar setup which causes me to blip the throttle when on bumpy roads. I am attaching a graph from my Power Vision Win PV tune. I was told to try slowing down the throttle progesstivity (throttle blade control) in order to smooth things out a bit. Any suggestions on what values to change and by how much? Thx

When you said "Snatchy", I had a completely different idea of what this thread was

Yep, same thing here. Best hold on when in a low gear and hit a good bump. Yee Haw!

That will not help - that table simply sets max opening of throttle at certain points - not if it will open if you are physically moving throttle. Are these your bars?

Me too…

Still curious what “snatchy” is in the context of a motorcycle throttle.

I believe he means that there is no progression to the throttle; it is either on or off.

To better explain my throttle is very sensitive. No lag which makes the throttle very touchy. Looking to just mellow it out a little bit. Here's a pic of my bars.

Reach out to PV and ask them about the throttle response settings , I have never used the PV , but have with the FP3 . Their are settings you can change to make your throttle not so touchy .

Hopefully , this will help , Good luck .

Moist with a slight odor of codfish I'm thinking.

That absolutely could apply to snatchy as well.
