    High, went for street put on my TE450 yesterday and throttle is touchy. If I do not brace my thumb to bars...the the slightest wrist movement causes acceleration/ deceleration to point of annoying. :confused: Almost give that feeling of surging, but it is not.

    Is this just nature of a plated race bike...or is there an adjustment? :excuseme:

    Sure there is an adjustment. Down on the carb there is a black plastic plate held on with 1 allen bolt. Under that is where the cables attach to the carb. The are adjustable just like a brake cable on a bicycle.

    I'm sure once you get to your bike and take off the black plastic cover you will figure it out, one or both of the cables are too tight. :thumbsup:

    While you are at it, you may want to make sure the compression release cable has some slack in it too. :)

    :cheers:

    It's not like a bike with a CV carb, so yes, it seems a bit touchy on street rides til you get used to it.

    You could easily also have a 'blank' leak jet too. That would cause much fuel to be squirted into carb with small throttle openings.

    If this sounds foreign to you then you could watch this video. I'm not sure what your experience level is.

    You can also make quick adjustments to throttle play on the cables themselves- above the handlebar, a few inches left of the throttle - each cable has an inline adjuster.

    Also, Do you have a JD jet kit in the bike? Depending on what leak jet(as Dean said) and what AP settings you have, could be contributing to the twitchiness.
    Also what final gearing you're using; lower gearing = more snap, higher gearing= less snap.

    The rest is in your right wrist.
