Hey all
So I am looking potentially replacing or adjusting the throttle/return spring on my new flhx just to ease up on my old wrists....
.
anyone? experience with tthis....is there an adjustment to ease up on the throttle tension? or a lighter return spring that can be swapped out?
this is a 2013, with less than 1k miles on it, brand new....and it's the new drive by wire, so I am assuming no cables, only wires to the throttle, then some sort of return spring within the throttle handle assembly.....just wondering if the tension is adjustable....or can be eased up somehow.....thanks....

Ok you didn't mention the year and model unless I missed it. Sorry I don't know if the tension is adjustable. since it's that new I'd suggest asking the dealer. My 2010 seems a little hard to pull as well so I'd be interested in what you find out. I just use the cruise control a lot.. And I mean a lot!
