I too have this problem while going at a steady speed in first or second gear.I would like to have the twistgrip a little stiffer to elimiate this problem. anyone got any ideas on how to do this?

The key here is "hand placement" on the grip and is something that most MSF courses tech you as well, out of good habit. I know what you mean as that is my only "gripe" about TBW. The throttle is just to darn sensitive with little to no resistance. So, make sure you locate your hand so that if you accidentally pull on the throttle (like after hitting a bump) , you don't roll it one way or the other. At least a throttle cable had some resistance to it. Good techniques last a lifetime so get in the habit of proper throttle hand placement regardless of TBW or cable. Most people place hands too high on the throttle, because that feels good but does allow for the accidental roll on.
