I always find myself having to wrap my hands around the throttle about 0.25"-0.3" to wrap around the 'throttle slack'...you know...the play in the throttle that doesnt actually send power to the wheels. The thing is this:

The MSF taught me to 'drop' my hand on the throttle and not wrap around it...

The downside is I can't get enough throttle when I take it to high RPMs without feeling discomfort in my wrist.

What should I do in this instance? Is that normal? Can it be corrected? Thanks.

well all you have to do is tighten the cable with the screw to take out throttle slack. as far as hand position,
the only way to go to full throttle without having to change hand position is the get the quick turn throttle

 

Yes, it can be corrected. It can be adjusted in the throttle on the bar or at the throttle body. I suggest adjusting the bar first, take the cover off and you'll see how.

 

Is it recommended to keep it at factory settings and just wrap my hand around it? Or should I adjust it to my specs?
